The majority of cases of swine flu in Wales have been mild although proving severe for a small minority.
More people are becoming infected as the virus begins to circulate more freely in the community, rather than being limited to those that had travelled to an affected country and their close contacts.
That is why we have moved to a treatment phase. (More information is available at the link - Swine Flu: from containment to treatment)
