Per the Associated Press, the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned various countries to watch for unusual flu breakouts after dozens of individuals within North America have died.
According to WHO Director-General Margaret Chen, the outbreak between Mexico and the United States caused it to become “public health emergency of international concern.” Due to the decision, countries are required to keep surveillance on the disease.
