Mexico grapples with outbreak of swine flu

Countries are taking major steps to prevent an outbreak of swine flew after the new strain of influenza swept over Mexico killing more than 140 people in just days. The U.S. Government has already declared a public health emergency and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged caution today over travel to Mexico after 40 cases were identified in New York, California and Texas. Linda Gibbs is New York City's Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services. She says the city wants people who aren't sick to remain calm.
Six cases of swine flu were found in Canada. In New Zealand around a dozen students and a teacher were found infected after a trip to Mexico. The UK reports that it's probing 17 reports that could be related to the swine flu after Spain became the first country in Europe to confirm a case of the virus. Meanwhile, Egypt is testing pig farms around the country and has warned it could declare a health state of emergency. And in Mexico City, the epicenter of the epidemic, the government and society at large are still grappling with how to respond to the threat. Daniel Hernandez reports.
