WHO raised its pandemic alert to 5 on a 6-level scale
The number of confirmed cases of the new H1N1 flu has climbed to 8,451, including 72 deaths, the World Health Organization said on Saturday.
The number of countries reporting confirmed cases of H1N1, commonly known as swine flu, has risen to 36 with Ecuador and Peru confirming their first cases, the WHO said.
The vast majority of cases have been in Mexico and the United States.
The spread of the disease has led the WHO to declare a pandemic is imminent. On April 29 it raised its pandemic alert to 5 on a 6-level scale.
Countries hit or start getting affected by swine flu: India and Turkey, Japan, Hongkong, Malaysia and Indonesia
And WHO (world health organization) says it’s now in over 33 countries:
Swine flu has reached 33 countries, the World Health Organization said Wednesday, and there have been deaths in four nations: Mexico, the United States, Canada and Costa Rica. The agency, based in Geneva, is under pressure to change how it issues pandemic alerts, which go up as a new virus spreads even if it is relatively mild.
