Swine flu: from containment to treatment (2nd July 2009)
As swine flu spreads and more people start to catch it, it makes sense to move from intensive efforts to contain the virus to focusing efforts on treating the increasing number of people who have the disease.

Following the agreement of ministers in all four UK nations, and in line with the Department of Health's (DH) own Pandemic Flu plans, the DH made the decision on 2 July to move from containment and outbreak management policies to the treatment phase.

This paper is intended to provide clear information explaining why we have chosen to do this, what our plans are from now on and how these developments will affect the general public.
