Swine flu pandemic
The number of confirmed cases of Swine Flu (H1N1) across the world continues to grow. The World Health Organisation’s current pandemic alert level is Phase 6. This is characterised by human-to-human spread of the virus in more than one WHO region. The alert phase refers to the geographical spread of the pandemic, not its severity.
About to travel overseas?
Medical screening for the Swine Flu virus (H1N1) has been introduced by local authorities at several airports for passengers arriving on international flights. Containment measures may be introduced or changed with little or no notice. You may be required to undergo further tests if you show flu-like symptoms.
Some countries have put quarantine measures in place for people travelling from affected countries, or in one case at a hotel where an infected person had been staying. British nationals who find themselves quarantined overseas should contact their nearest British Embassy/Consulate who will be able to offer consular assistance, though access may be limited due to the quarantine restrictions.
Confirmed cases of swine influenza A (H1N1) in humans
This table will be updated on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Cases of swine influenza as reported by the World Health Organization, the World Health Organization Regional Offices, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and in some cases individual Ministries of Health.
Those countries in yellow are reporting H1N1 for the first time.
