What is a pandemic? A pandemic is a global outbreak of disease that
occurs when a new virus appears or emerges in the human population,
causes serious illness, and then spreads from person to person
worldwide.
As of April 27, 2009, human cases of swine influenza
have been identified in the United States.
The City of Arlington is helping to educate its residents about
this important health threat and the steps that can be taken to
protect themselves and their families.
