In WHO's South- East Asia Region, a total of 76,302 cases of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 and 2,054 deaths have been reported as per information on August 5, 2010. Majority of countries in the Region are either reporting no activity or a decreasing trend in respiratory diseases activity. However the situation in the Member States needs to be monitored on an ongoing basis. The intensity in the South-East Asia Region has been low to moderate and overall impact is low. It is likely that the H1N1 influenza virus will continue to be circulated in parts of countries in South-East Asia especially in areas that previously less affected.
