California has made a "rigorous and thorough" response to a new strain of flu that has killed up to 60 people in Mexico and infected eight in the United States, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said on Friday.
California, home to six of the US cases, was coordinating with federal and international health experts on its plan, which includes surveillance of patients with flu-like illness,Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
Other steps the state has taken include requesting extra flu experts from the US Centers for Disease Control and expanding lab testing and veterinary activities, he said.
California has also activated its Joint Emergency Operations Center with the Department of Public Health and been in communication with officials in Mexico.
OK. So now if you are a Californian and have flu-like symptoms, you are going to be surveilled by the government.
Any thoughts as to where this strain came from?
