On August 13, 2009, the total number of reported cases of influenza A H1N1 was 182 166 cases and 1799 deaths in over 170 countries. The distribution map of cases in the world, shows that no region is spared even if the maximum number of cases is found in the Americas, Europe and Australia. The American continent is most affected and alone accounts for 105,882 reported cases including 106 deaths. The Southeast Asia identifies 13,172 cases including 106 deaths. As for Europe, it counts about 32 000 cases including 53 deaths recognized. The Pacific West Regrets 50 deaths and 27,111 cases.

Africa and the Middle East seem the least affected but what will happen after the Umrah during the month of September (minor pilgrimage) and especially the Hajj in the month of November which corresponds to the coming of autumn, conducive to epidemics

More than 3 million pilgrims from 178 countries in 2008 went to Makkah for Hajj. To this figure must be added the local residents who wish to perform Hajj, and nearly two million pilgrims are expected for this year’s Haj scheduled for November ‘s is to say during autumn.
