Here’s about H1N1.
The Mexican administration has declared the end of the health alert for the deadly virus A/H1N1 after 14 months in which 1,289 people lost the lives in this country and 72,000 cases were recorded.
Health Secretary Jose Angel Cordova Villalobos announced this at a press meet on Tuesday.
The decision was taken unanimously by the General Health Council after monitoring the progression of the outbreak that caused its last casualty during the last month (May 2010) and in agreement with WHO and the Pan American Health Organization.
Whilst there were 216 people hospitalized in October last year, by June 25 there were just 22.
"The ciruculation of the virus is minimal," Villalobos said.
Nonetheless, the country is not lowering its guard and still has some 875,000 doses of anti-influenza A (H1N1) vaccine on hand. (With Inputs from Agencies)
