CDC report on the swine flu

There is a lot of media press about an outbreak of swine flu in Mexico and travelers should take precautions.

This is no different than the precautions you would normally take when around people who are sneezing and coughing, during cold and flu season.

I have attached a link to the site for the CDC which should update periodically.

Right now, the CDC has NOT issued an alert to avoid travel. They are currently suggesting that precautions be taken- like washing your hands frequently, use a tissue when sneezing, and avoiding contact with people who appear to be sick.
