DENVER (AP)- Colorado hospitals are taking precautions to keep flu patients separated.

On Tuesday, Denver Health Medical Center opened a separate sick bay for flu sufferers. Swedish Medical Center has posted a sign asking people with flu symptoms to do what they can to keep their hands clean and protect other patients.

KMGH-TV says state health officials are reporting a jump in flu cases, with more than 500 people hospitalized so far this season.
