Following the 9th Emergency Committee Meeting, the Director-General of WHO, Dr Margaret Chan, has issued an official statement on 10 Aug 2010 that the world is no longer in Phase 6 of the Influenza Pandemic Alert and we are now moving into the post-pandemic period.

 This means that we are moving into a situation where:

• The H1N1 virus has spread to all countries
  
• Many people in all age groups have developed some immunity to the virus
  
• No large and unusual summer outbreaks have occurred in either the Northern or Southern Hemispheres, and
  
• Seasonal influenza A (H3N2) and influenza B viruses are now being reported in many countries
