CDC to Hold Briefing on Swine Flu
Today at 1:00pm (Est) 
 
Health officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will hold a briefing at 1 P.M. Saturday at their headquarters in Atlanta concerning a new strain of Swine Flu.

The virus has killed dozens in Mexico and sickened several others in texas and california.

The Mexican government has closed museums, theaters and other public places and events in an effort to reduce the spread of Swine Flu.

Mexican Officials are encouraging people to stay home. But, if they have to go out, the Army has mobilized soldiers to give out masks to subway commuters.

MEXICO CITY - The swine flu outbreak in Mexico and the United States could develop into a pandemic, the head of the World Health Organization said Saturday.

The outbreak involves "an animal strain of the H1N1 virus, and it has pandemic potential," director general Margaret Chan said, adding that it is too early to say whether a pandemic will actually occur.
