Swine flu virus could still mutate, warns WHO chief
London, December 30 (ANI): The head of the World Health Organisation (WHO) has stressed the need to “guard against complacency” concerning the global swine flu pandemic.
Dr Margaret Chan said the virus was still active in countries including India and Egypt and could mutate into a more dangerous strain.
“It is too premature and too early for us to say we have come to an end of the pandemic influenza worldwide,” the BBC quoted her as saying.
The WHO’s director general added: “We will watch this virus with eagle’s eyes.” Swine Flu Symptoms

Every disease is mutating in a new deadly disease now and this mutation is catching its speed rapidly.
A common flu turned up in bird and swine flu which killed nearly thousands of people throughout the world.
And now the same flu virus is mutating in a new and more deadly form. The researchers should find a cure for this virus before it hits.
