The World Health Organisation (WHO) has moved into a post pandemic phase worldwide, but has said that some countries such as New Zealand will still see high levels of the H1N1 Swine flu virus.

Areas that did not see high levels of H1N1 last year are most likely to be worst hit this season.

The current flu situation could mean lots of people become sick at the same time, this could have a big impact on our day-to-day lives and place considerable pressure on health services.
