Altour (ATM) continues to monitor the ongoing situation regarding H1N1 Influenza.
At this time, the WHO (World Health Organization) has elevated the alert from a Phase 5 to a Phase 6. However, WHO is not recommending any restriction on travel or border closures, primarily because of the flu's current state of "moderate severity." Additionally, please note that like WHO, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have no recommendations to avoid travel. The CDC does recommend that travelers protect themselves by following simple prevention practices and good hygiene. These include regular hand-washing, normal cough etiquette and avoiding contact with people suffering from acute respiratory infections.
We advise that you check the following Web sites frequently and share this information with your travelers as they are making business travel decisions:
World Health Organization - H1N1 Flu
Centers for Disease Control - H1N1 Flu

Altour consultants are available 24/7 @ 952-447-1342 or 888-826-8626 for your assistance and travel iquiries.
