TORONTO - Public health units and medical officials across the country have been warned to be on the lookout for illness in Canadians returning from Mexico.
The warning follows reports from the country of cases of severe respiratory illness, which in some cases has led to death. A spokesperson for the Public Health Agency of Canada says Canadian authorities are aware of the reports and are looking into them.
And the Pan American Health Organization - the World Health Organization's Americas branch - is also working with Mexican authorities to look into the reports.
The illnesses are said to have been occurring in south and central Mexico.
A warning to health officials says the cases, which have largely involved young, previously healthy adults, start as flu-like illness and rapidly progress to respiratory distress.
