The WHO claimed that there is no need to increase the alert at its highest level, Phase 6, meaning that the virus had been seen to spread continuously outside of one region.The WHO Assistant Director-General Keiji Fukuda claims that if the community outbreaks occur in multiple regions, we have knowledge if the virus has established there and that we can expect more countries of the world to be infected .
The United States was also hit by the disease, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention reporting 286 cases so far across 26 states,60 more than the day before.
