MARTINEZ, Ga.- NBC Augusta 26 News has learned a camp group from a church in Martinez has been hit by H1N1.

Staff members at Westside Baptist Church say, at least two children tested positive for the virus, also known as swine flu.

They say the campers may have contracted H1N1 during a church trip to North Carolina this summer.

Church members also tell us the children were treated and they're resting at home.

How long does it take for the syptoms to appear,after you might have been exposed to this virus??If the group went to N.C. earlier this summer,that seems like a long time for the kids to be diagnosed,with the swine flu now.They could have contracted it from anywhere,not just possibly in N.C.
