The province is raising the surveillance level for the swine flu.
This comes after the World Health Organization increased its pandemic alert to Phase 6
Chief Medical Officer for the province, Dr. Eilish Cleary says it's not an indication of a change in the situation in the province, but with outbreaks around the world, all things need to be considered.
Cleary says the province needs to keep a heightened level of surveillance to be prepared for new cases during the summer, and adds it's more likely there will be more activity in the fall, which is consistent with usual flu behavior.
