CHARLESTON --  Three confirmed cases of swine flu has forced a daycare camp in Kanawha County to close.

The Tyler Mountain YMCA summer camp and youth program will shut down for four days, beginning Thursday, so crews can cleanse the area.

The children with the flu virus are two sisters and another girl attending the day camp.

Also, 24 kids and four staff members there have come down with flu-like symptoms.

Officials with the YMCA facility have voluntarily closed the daycare center until Monday.

Dr. Rahul Gupta with the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department says students who attend the daycamp next week will be closely monitored. He is urging parents to keep their children home if they are in any way sick.

The remainder of the facility will remain open during normal business hours.

So far, Kanawha County has 25 confirmed cases of swine flu and 135 have been confirmed statewide.
