In the three months following the first death, the authorities decreed a high alert at airports and seaports of the country where tests were carried passengers from the United States and Mexico, which has the highest number of cases.

But neither is declared moratoriums on classes or attending schools or government offices were closed and few people were on the streets with face mask.

Vice Minister of Public Health Network, Mrs. Corado, explained that most of those killed by the H1N1 virus was due to delayed medical care because the doctor came after five days of showing symptoms of influenza.

Health Ministry sources said that most of the cases reported in Venezuela have an underlying condition, which complicates the health of people, most of which has conditions such as diabetes or obesity.

Venezuelan authorities, however, have not dropped their guard and the government recently announced it will buy about five million human influenza vaccines, doses should arrive in the country in early 2010.
