Since WHO declares it as a pandemic (on June 11, 2009), until July 27, 2009, 134,503 people are positively infected by influenza A H1N1 in the world. It is transmitted directly from human-to-human contact through cough, sneeze or things touched by the infected person. Therefore, the distribution is extremely rapid.
Some preparedness have been taken by government to suppress the number of influenza A H1N1 patients especially in Bali in order to keep tour and travel activities grow: supporting Port Health Office (thermal scanner and Health Alert Card, which must be filled in), preparing referral hospitals, supplying logistics, improving contact investigation, ILI surveillance, laboratory, communication, education and information, as well as performing International Health Regulations (IHR).
In addition, it also covers community surveillance, which is people having quite serious influenza should go to health center, while people having very serious one must go to health center, and clinical surveillance, which is developing surveillance of severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) in health center and hospital levels to find very serious cases, while slight cases do not need inpatient treatment in hospital.
