WHO/Europe outbreak update, 22 September 2009
As of 22 September 2009, 48 of the 53 Member States in the WHO European Region had reported over 52 000 laboratory-confirmed cases of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus infection. At present, influenza activity in the WHO European Region is low or moderate. The number of infections detected weekly continues to decrease; this is likely to be attributable to the changes in testing practices introduced in many countries as the pandemic evolves.
To date, there have been at least 156 deaths in 14 countries in the Region: Belgium, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. (1)
Measures in schools
WHO has issued advice on measures that can be taken in schools to reduce the impact of the pandemic. WHO continues to recommend that students, teachers and other staff who feel unwell stay home. Plans should be in place and space made available to isolate students and staff who become ill while at school.
