WHO Declares the H1N1 Pandemic to Get Over, but Have Not Gone Yet

On Tuesday, the World Health Organization announced that the havoc of H1N1 flu epidemic has got over as various nations have made stringent efforts to curb the disease.

The declaration was made as the outbreak of the flu has been checked by the nations, as the people have got immunized against the same by taking vaccination.

Also, the period of the dominance of the H1N1 swine flu has ended and the season has come for other seasonal flu bugs like H3N2 type A and type B viruses.

But, still there are some cases found in New Zealand, which are guised in the form of other seasonal viruses. So, it should not be assumed that the virus has flown away forever, as told by Margaret Chan, Director-General of WHO.

He said, "This pandemic has turned out to be much more fortunate than what we feared a little over a year ago".
