UK warns of more swine flu cases

The UK should expect swine flu cases following the deadly outbreak in Mexico, Health Protection Agency chiefs have said, the BBC reported on its Web site Monday (April 27).

The UK government, which Sunday held an emergency meeting to discuss preparations for a possible swine flu outbreak, says it has enough flu drugs to treat one in two people, and has placed orders to double that stockpile, the BBC reported.

The Department of Health said it had "stepped up" surveillance arrangements and was "actively considering our response in the UK should further action be required."
