Influenza A (H1N1) : Update

Wednesday, 24/6/09

The cumulative total of confirmed cases of influenza A (H1N1) in New Zealand has continued to climb. The majority of people have experienced relatively mild to moderate symptoms. Latest statistics are available on the Ministry of Health website [External Link].

Caseloads in New Zealand are low compared to many other countries. There has been no measurable disruption to community or business activities, other than evidence of diminished inbound tourism.

For travellers to New Zealand, passive passenger screening remains in place at all airports with international services. Passive screening involves medical and border control staff being alert to symptoms among incoming passengers, encouraging voluntary declaration of ill health and offering medical assistance to those who appear to need it. All arriving passengers from all sources are being treated the same way.
