The wave of the pandemic, which has so far caused about 6400 deaths in the world, is approaching with great strides in Italy, where it manifests itself more in patchy. Although in most cases the influence is manifested in a slight in Italy and elsewhere in the world, the experts' attention is pointed at the young age of most victims.
He reiterated today the World Health Organization, noting that the vast majority of deaths due to influenza A affects people between 20 and 60 years. Still today, the WHO recommended surveillance in flocks of birds and mammals to identify any infections after isolated cases occurred in Chile, Canada and the USA.

Stationary conditions of three patients hospitalized in recent days in intensive care in Florence, Palermo and Sassari.
In schools in some regions, Valle d'Aosta and Lombardy, the number of empty pews began to grow, although at present the absences seem comparable to those that occur in influenza season. In many schools, meanwhile, triggered the stroke prevention.
Happens in Fiumicino, near Rome, where it was decided to install dispensers of antiseptic gel to wash hands. And in public and private schools of all levels of the province of Modena distribute video, brochures, handkerchiefs, towels and containers of paper.
