Tunisian President Zein al -Abedin Bin Ali catches the H1N1 virus (swine flu) which transferred to him from his granddaughter.
Ben Ali's personal physician advised him to take "a period of five days' rest after an acute inflammation of the pharynx," Tunisian presidency spokesman said.
yesterday , two Spanish newspapers quoted diplomatic sources as saying that the Spanish King Juan Carlos' planned-visit to Tunisia was cancelled for this reason .
on the other hand, Tunisia officially cancelled the Haj season this year in order to control the spread of the H1N1 virus.
Bin Ali, 73, has been leading the country since 1987, and won the fifth term of office last month with 89.62 percent of the vote.
As of 22 November 2009, worldwide more than 207 countries and overseas territories or communities have reported laboratory confirmed cases of pandemic influenza H1N1 2009, including over 7820 deaths.
the United States and Canada, influenza transmission remains very active and geographically widespread. In the United States, disease activity appears to have peaked in all areas of the country. In Canada, influenza activity remains similar but number of hospitalisations and deaths is increasing. Most countries in the Caribbean have ILI and SARI levels coming down.
In Europe, widespread and increasing transmission of pandemic influenza virus was observed across much of the continent and most countries that were not yet experiencing elevated ILI activity in the last few weeks, have seen a rapid increase in ILI. Very high activity is seen in Sweden, Norway, Moldova and Italy. Over 99% of subtyped influenza A viruses in Europe were pandemic H1N1 2009. Impact on health care services is severe in Albania and Moldova. Some countries seem to have peaked already: Belgium, Bulgaria, Belarus, Ireland, Luxemburg, Norway, Serbia, Ukraine and Iceland.
In East Asia, influenza transmission remains active. Intense influenza activity continues to be observed in Mongolia but has peaked already. In Japan, influenza activity remains stably elevated, but may be decreasing slightly in populated urban areas.
