FARGO, N.D. (AP) — MeritCare says it's restricting visitors at its two Fargo hospitals because of the prevalence of swine flu, or H1N1, in the area.

Under the restrictions, only immediate family members and clergy members who don't have flu-like symptoms may visit hospitalized patients. And MeritCare says patients who come to its downtown Fargo emergency center may bring only one person with them.
