 'No swine flu in Morocco'
Morocco's Health Ministry has assured that there is no case of swine flu in the country, even as the disease is confirmed to have spread from Mexico to other parts of the world.
In a statement issued here Wednesday, the ministry said it had put in place a series of measures to activate the national bird flu control commission, that was set up in 2005, to tackle the swine flu.
It said the measures were also aimed at strengthening health control operations in the main entry points (airports, ports and frontiers) and operating the flu detection materials at international airports.
Over 150 people have been killed in Mexico alone since the swine flu outbreak was reported, while the US has also recorded its first death.
The disease has also spread to Europe and the Middle East, and the World Health Organisation (WHO) has raised its global alert on the disease to level 4, just two steps below a full-blown pandemic.
