The World Health Organization says people should not focus too much on the figures, as they are fluid and change with great xxxfrequency. It says the influenza A H1N1 virus is continuing to evolve and no one yet knows whether it will be a mild or serious outbreak.

Assistant Direct-General Director-General for Health Security and Environment, Keiji Fukuda, says the largest number of cases continue to be reported from Mexico, the United States and Canada, although infections are reported in AsianAsia, Europe and Latin America.

He says WHO is maintaining its international influenza pandemic alert at phase five5. He says there has to be evidence of sustained community transmission of the virus in a country in a region outside North America for phase sixagain6 to kick in.

He says phase six 6 has nothing to do with the survivethe severity of the disease.

"Phase six 6 means that we are seeing continued spread of the virus to countries outside of one region,and. And, if we are seeing community outbreaks occur in most multiple regions of the world, it really tells us that the virus has established itself and that we can expect to see disease in most countries in the world. "
