"It certainly is suspicious that you have a new strain of swine flu showing up just north of the Mexican border, and you have an outbreak of cases south in Mexico," he said. "We already have the Americans talking about the H1N1 strain, which is a new strain they haven't seen before . If you had evidence that this strain was also in Mexico, you would have further evidence that something new has shown up which has the ability to go person-to-person and has crossed borders as well." However, there is no reason to panic, said Gardam. "A pandemic virus basically means a virus that is going to affect a large proportion of the population. It doesn't mean they're going to get necessarily all that sick." In Canada, the travel advisory includes the same advice given to all travellers — to get a flu shot and take precautions such as covering coughs and staying home when sick — but also adds locations in Mexico where cases of a severe respiratory illness have occurred. The agency has also warned medical officials across the country to be on the lookout for patients with severe respiratory problems. However, federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq also stressed that there is no reason for Canadians to panic. "Canadians aren't threatened by this situation," Aglukkaq said, "but we need to work with our partners to monitor the situation carefully because it is a concern to us." Public health officials in Ontario have monitored about 10 people who recently returned from Mexico, with the numbers changing by the hour. "We haven't had any that have been directly tied," said Dr. David Williams, Ontario's acting chief medical officer of health. "We will continue to look, any case that has any remote possibility of connection, we want to see if we can connect those dots correctly." (less)
