Cancun Swine Flu

Cancun swine flu as it's called is not a new strain of the infamous swine flu virus we have become accustomed to hearing about. It is usually made in reference to an outbreak of swine flu in the Mexican resort, Cancun.

Cancun is on the Yucatan Peninsular which divides the Caribbean Sea from the Gulf (of Mexico). Often referred to as the Mexican Caribbean it is an extremely popular tourist resort, particularly for North American's.

In "hot" vacation destinations there is a greater risk of contracting disease and viruses simply because of the number of people in the area, notwithstanding, people who are non-native to the area and can have come from anywhere, besides the geography and location of Cancun makes for a difficult area regarding containment. 

The Mexican health departments have taken a number of measures (and in all fairness they were pretty quick to respond to the outbreak too) to not only eliminate swine flu from the region but to stop it spreading to other regions. At the time of writing if you are considering traveling to the Cancun region it is advisable to check with your countries government department which deals with traveling abroad.
