Swine flu claims 132 lives, govt claims 'situation well under control
New Delhi: After 132 deaths and 708 cases of swine flu reported across the country during the current year, government on Tuesday said it was monitoring the situation, which is "well under control".

"World Health Organisation (WHO), while declaring the Pandemic to be over in August 2010, conveyed that the influenza H1N1 pandemic virus would take on the behaviour of seasonal influenza virus and continue to circulate for some years.
