Difficulties While Traveling Due To Swine Flu Pandemic?

Questions:What difficulties might I experience with my travel plans due to the swine flu pandemic?

Greg Poland, M.D., Mayo Clinic

Answer: The WHO has recommended to countries that they not close borders or restrict travel, so I don't think that will be an issue. Likely it will be a personal decision. Maybe an area that you're planning on travelling to is having a particular bad form of the outbreak or a lot of illnesses, you might wish to defer or change your travel plans in that regard. But I think the issue will be that this virus is going to widely circulate. It's not going to be in one or two areas. It's going to be everywhere.
