UN Staff Influenza Pandemic: Update # 11 (15th June,2009)
|
As of 07:00 GMT, 12 June 2009, 74 countries have officially reported 29,669 cases of influenza A (H1N1) infection, including 145 deaths. This is only part of the picture. With few exceptions, countries with large numbers of cases are those with good surveillance and testing procedures in place. On the basis of available evidence and expert assessments of the evidence, the scientific criteria for an influenza pandemic were met, and therefore, WHO Director General, Dr. Margaret Chan on 11 June, 2009, raised the level of influenza pandemic alert from Phase 5 to Phase 6.
