Flu alert lowered in Mexico City
Mexico City lowered its swine flu alert level from yellow to green, and the mayor said “we can relax” now that there have been no new infections for a week.
Mayor Marcelo Ebrard said the change means the risk of contagion is low, the situation is under control and the images of countless people wearing blue surgical masks in cars, sidewalks, restaurants and theatres can be consigned to history.
