Mexico shutting down for five days due to swine flu outbreak
While fear of a global swine flu outbreak is sweeping from country to country, it is still true that Mexico remains the country which has been hit the hardest by H1N1. With the swine flu outbreak doing serious damage to the Mexican economy - most notably the vital tourism industry - the government of Mexico is doing what they can to try to put a stop to the spread of the H1N1 flu. So, as of today, Mexico is on a five day shut down which will see workplaces, schools and social venues shutting down. The Mexican government has urged people not to go out and to avoid crowds where the swine flu H1N1 virus may spread.
