H1N1 Swine flu pandemic
New Zealand's Health officials are now setting up specialist swine flu centres as the number of cases soars.
New Zealand's Health Minister Tony Ryall confirmed that Capital and Coast District Health Board had set up one of New Zealand's first swine flu assessment centres at Wellington Hospital. Other district health boards were likely to follow.
"It diverts people away who may have flu symptoms from hospital and emergency departments and GP clinics.",said Mr Ryall.
On 11 June the World Health Organisation raised the pandemic alert to Phase 6. This is characterised by human-to-human spread of the virus in more than one WHO region. The alert phase refers to the geographical spread of the pandemic, not its severity. View the latest information.
