MEXICO says its swine flu epidemic has peaked and is now in decline.
The epidemic "is in its phase of decline. The national peak was between April 23 and 28", said Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova.

Containment measures, including the public's wearing of face masks and regular hand-washing, had been effective in limiting the flu's spread, he said.

But it was important "not to lower one's guard".

The number of confirmed deaths from the virus was unchanged at 19, while the number of confirmed infected cases had risen by 33 to 487, he said.

Meanwhile, US health authorities said swine flu was present in more than half of its states, and Colombia became the 19th country to verify a case on its soil.
