GENEVA (Reuters) - An expert panel that advises the World Health Organization on pandemics will meet Tuesday to decide whether to declare the H1N1 flu outbreak over.
The WHO said in a statement Monday that its emergency committee will begin a teleconference at 1200 GMT Tuesday and results will be posted later in the day on its website.
Earlier this month, a WHO spokesman said the committee would consider three main options.
These would be to conclude that the pandemic was still in force and retain the WHO's current phase 6 on its 6-level pandemic scale; state that pandemic had moved into a transitional "post-peak" phase; or declare that the pandemic was over.
