AH1N1 Flu Kills 22 in Brazil


Brasilia -  Brazil Health Minister Jose Gomes Temporao said the AH1N1 virus has so far caused 22 fatalities but remains below the common flu death rates.

Minister Temporao rejected limiting trips or human traffic in Sao Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul, the most affected states.

Temporao warned that the virus spreads via close human-to-human contact and in closed environments, so the pandemic may be long lasting.
