At least 81 people in Mexico have died from severe pneumonia caused by the flu-like illness, according to the WHO. Director-General Margaret Chan warned that the virus had the potential to cause a pandemic, but she cautioned it was too early to tell whether it would erupt into a global outbreak.

據世界衛生組織稱，墨西哥至少已有81人死于豬流感。該組織總干事陳馮富珍(Margaret Chan)警告說，這種病毒有可能大范圍傳播，不過她也提醒說，現在就判斷是否會爆發全球性疫情仍為時過早。

On Sunday, Ms. Chan held teleconferences with staff and flu experts around the world but stopped short of recommending specific measures to halt the disease beyond urging governments to step up their surveillance of suspicious outbreaks.

周日，陳馮富珍與世界衛生組織的工作人員和全球各地的流感專家舉行了電話會議。不過，會議除了敦促各國政府加強對疑似病例的監控外，并沒有拿出遏制疫情蔓延的具體措施。

The administration of U.S. President Barack Obama declared a 'public health emergency,' as health officials warned that further cases of swine flu are likely to emerge in the U.S. At a news conference at the White House, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano described the declaration as 'standard operating procedure' to allow the federal and state governments easier access to flu tests and medication.

Richard Besser, acting director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that over time 'more severe' cases of disease are likely to surface. He said officials so far have identified 20 cases in the U.S.
