Pandemic Influenza (H1N1) 09 Swine Flu - Update 132
Latest Numbers
The total number of confirmed cases of Pandemic Influenza (H1N1) 09 swine flu is 3000, up from 2959 yesterday.
The actual number of cases of Pandemic Influenza (H1N1) 09 will be significantly higher, as only a small proportion of people with influenza symptoms are being tested, to better inform their treatment.
The number of deaths from Pandemic Influenza (H1N1) 09 swine flu remains unchanged at 14. It's important to note these 14 deaths reported by the Ministry are deaths from swine flu, where swine flu was a primary cause of death.
Australian Situation

confirmed cases in Australia, go to the Australian
Government's Department of Health and Ageing website

Update from the World Health Organization
The World Health Organization is no longer issuing tables showing the numbers of confirmed cases for all countries.
This is because
there are an increasing number of cases in many countries,
including New Zealand, which is making it extremely
difficult to confirm laboratory testing in an accurate and
timely manner. For more information about this reporting
change go to the
WHO website:
