With the approach of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the World Health Organization is reporting an increase in the number of H1N1 flu cases, says WHO spokesperson Gregory Hartl.
HARTL: We're seeing quite a bit more activity in the Northern Hemisphere across North America and across many parts of Europe, and I believe also Japan is mentioned.
At the same time, WHO reports a noticeable decrease in reported flu cases in the countries of the Southern Hemisphere, notably in Chile, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
