Fears are on the rise that the swine flu outbreak could jeopardize the already fragile global economy and reverse its initial recovery.
Mexico, which is at the epicenter of the deadly disease, has so far reported a total of 1,995 suspected cases and at least 149 suspected swine flu deaths. Its northern neighbor, the United States, reported 42 confirmed cases, including 28 at one New York City school.
Confirmed or suspected cases are also found in Canada, Scotland, New Zealand, Spain, France and Israel.
