Now's the Time to Step Up Your Company's Preparedness!! On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) raised the worldwide pandemic alert level to Phase 6 in response to the ongoing global spread of the influenza H1N1 virus. A Phase 6 designation indicates that a global pandemic is underway.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 70 countries are now reporting cases of human infection with novel H1N1 flu. This number has been increasing over the past few weeks, but many of the cases reportedly had links to travel or were localized outbreaks without community spread. The WHO designation of a pandemic alert Phase 6 reflects the fact that there are now ongoing community level outbreaks in multiple parts of world.
