According to data provided by AICP, till Wednesday A/H1N1 flu has claimed three lives. A/H1N1 flu has been detected in at least 188 out of the nearly 600 cases tested in the country ever since the first A/H1N1 flu cases were reported on June 29 last year.

On Oct.15 last year, the government had declared the spread of A/H1N1 flu in the country. On Tuesday, the WHO declared the A/H1N1 flu pandemic officially over after the advice of its top flu expert committee.

The WHO also said that A/H1N1 flu has now entered a "post pandemic" phase, meaning the disease active around the world has returned to levels usually seen for seasonal influenza.
