The WHO (World Health Organization’s) daily update of the spread of the H1N1 virus around the world shows an increase of 444 cases over yesterday, and 2 additional countries added to the list.
Canada and the United States - who are de-emphasizing individual cases counts now - have now gone to a Monday – Wednesday – Friday reporting schedule, so no updates from those two countries are included in today’s numbers.
The numbers represented here are illustrative of the spread of the virus, but do not accurately convey the number of people infected around the world.
Some countries are still unable to test for the virus, while others are doing only very limited testing.
