H1N1 now in the post-pandemic period
WHO declared today that the H1N1 influenza virus
has moved into the post-pandemic period. The
Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus has spread to most part of the world and in all
age groups. The evidence is strong that the recent influenza pandemic
patterns have moved to seasonal patterns of influenza. However, the new H1N1
virus can be expected to remain for many years. While individual influenza
seasons can be highly variable and difficult to predict, countries are
advised to continue monitoring respiratory diseases activity. Public is
advised to take precautions to protect themselves from influenza and other
respiratory infections.
In WHO's South- East
Asia Region, a total of 76,302 cases of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 and 2,054 deaths
have been reported as per information on August 5, 2010. Majority of countries
in the Region are either reporting no activity or a decreasing trend in
respiratory diseases activity. However the situation in the Member States
needs to be monitored on an ongoing basis. The intensity in the South-East
Asia Region has been low to moderate and overall impact is low. It is likely
that the H1N1 influenza virus will continue to be circulated in parts of
countries in South-East Asia especially in
areas that previously less affected.
