Schools have been closed nationwide since April 27.

But Mexican officials warned people that the threat posed by the virus was far from over.

Colombia has found the first confirmed flu case in South America. The 42-year-old man who lives near the capital of Bogota was recently in Mexico for a sales seminar.

A spokesperson for the Colombian government said that of 136 suspected cases, four had been hospitalized.

Meanwhile, in Central America, two cases were confirmed in El Salvador. Results from another two suspected cases have been sent to laboratories in the US.

Health officials said that there was a high probability that the two suspected cases, a young man and his girlfriend, would test positive for the A/H1N1 virus.
