WHO Warns of `Second or Third' Wave of Swine Flu Cases, AFP Says

By Mike on

Aug. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Governments around the world need to prepare for a likely

second wave of swine flu cases, Agence France-Presse said, citing World Health

Organization chief Margaret Chan.

" We cannot say for certain whether the worst is over or the worst is yet to

come, " the news agency cited Chan as saying at the start of a three-day

conference on influenza in the Asia- Pacific region.

" We also need to prepare for a second or even a third wave of spread as

typically seen in past pandemics. "
