First detected in Mexico where it has left more than 100 dead, it has now moved on to the USA. Cases of swine flu have also been reported from Canada and also from a few European countries like Spain and United Kingdom. Saying there is no cause for alarm the President said the decision to declare a US public health emergency was a precautionary tool only.
