Singapore has announced changes in tactics to battle H1N1 influenza. Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan said at a press conference on Monday that as the numbers in the country escalate, agencies have to shift their resources to focus on detecting and treating infected cases, paying special attention to high-risk patients.

From now, there will be a shift from alert level of Yellow Containment to Yellow Mitigation, and Singaporeans can expect some adjustments in the next few days. The World Health Organization's (WHO) pandemic alert level is at the maximum level of six.

The A(H1N1) virus, which was first detected in Mexico in April, has infected more than 52,000 people around the world in 100 countries and territories, causing 231 deaths.

WHO said the the flu pandemic will last up to two years and warned countries that already had large numbers of infections to prepare for a "second wave of infection".
