The 2009 swine flu outbreak in Brazil began on April 25, 2009 with two people, spreading to 34 over the first two weeks. Today Brazil is the country with the highest ammount of deaths in the world.
Two people who had arrived in Brazil from Mexico with symptoms of an undefined illness were hospitalized in São Paulo on April 25. It was initially suspected that they were suffering from the swine flu virus.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-0>[1]</SUP> The Brazilian Ministry of Health later issued a press release stating that while the exact cause of the two patients illnesses remained unknown, they "did not meet the definition of suspected cases of swine influenza because they did not have signs and symptoms consistent with the disease: fever over 39 °C, accompanied by coughing and/or a headache, muscle and joint pain."<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-1>[2]</SUP>
The press release also stated that airports would monitor travelers arriving from affected areas, under the direction of the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (ANVISA). Air crews are also being trained on signs and symptoms of swine influenza so that passengers displaying symptoms may receive guidance from ANVISA upon arrival.
