Swine flu | Latest Update of confirmed cases of H1N1 Swine flu

As per the latest information according to WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
about the spread of Swine flu.Upto This week, there have been more
than 182,000 laboratory confirmed cases of pandemic influenza H1N1,
1799 deaths, in 177 countries and territories have been reported to
WHO. As more and more countries have stopped counting individual
cases, particularly of milder illness, the case number is
significantly lower than the actually number of cases that have
occurred. However, through the WHO monitoring network, it is apparent
that rates of influenza illness continue to decline in the temperate
regions of the southern hemisphere, except in South Africa where
pandemic influenza H1N1 appeared slightly later than the other
countries of the region. Active transmission is still seen in some
later affected areas of Australia, Chile and Argentina even as
national rates decrease.
