Mediterranean Region remains free of influenza A (H1N1) to

respond to influenza (H1N1) pandemic. However, it reiterates
that no country is safe from H1N1 virus transmission. In response to influenza A (H1N1), ministries of health in all countries of the Region have already started implementing their national strategic plans for preparedness and response, which have detailed guidelines and directions for each and every stage of human pandemic influenza.
