Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 - update 69

Weekly update

As of 4 October 2009, worldwide there have been more than 375,000 laboratory

confirmed cases of pandemic influenza H1N1 2009 and over 4500 deaths reported to

WHO.

As many countries have stopped counting individual cases, particularly of milder

illness, the case count is significantly lower than the actually number of cases

that have occurred. WHO is actively monitoring the progress of the pandemic

through frequent consultations with the WHO Regional Offices and member states

and through monitoring of multiple sources of data.
