Sat Nam,

• Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses that causes regular outbreaks in pigs. People do not normally get swine flu, but human infections can and do happen. Swine flu viruses have been reported to spread from person-to-person, but in the past, this transmission was limited and not sustained beyond three people.


• The first cases of swine flu were reported March 18th in Mexico's Federal District. Since then, over 2,500 illnesses have been reported with 148 confirmed cases of the H1N1 flu (Swine Flu) in nine countries¹


• "The United States Government has reported 91 laboratory confirmed human cases, with one death. Mexico has reported 26 confirmed human cases of infection including seven deaths," WHO said in a statement on its Web site. "The following countries have reported laboratory confirmed cases with no deaths - Austria (1), Canada (13), Germany (3), Israel (2), New Zealand (3), Spain (4) and the United Kingdom (5)."²

• Stay home if you get sick. CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
