The six members of the board announced Thursday will give advice to state officials about how to deal with swine flu.

On Wednesday, Maryland officials announced that there are six "probable" cases of swine flu in the state. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is testing samples to confirm whether the cases are indeed swine flu.

O'Malley has appointed doctors John Bartlett, Frank Calia, Thomas Inglesby, James Nataro, Ina Stephens and Ivan Walks to the advisory board. They have been working closely with the governor and health officials in the past few days.
