WASHINGTON – The White House says President Barack Obama is being updated on the swine flu outbreak in Mexico.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Friday the Homeland Security Council is monitoring the situation, along with the State Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Gibbs says Homeland Security Adviser John Brennan is leading the White House's response. Mexican authorities say 60 people may have died from the swine flu virus and world health officials worry it could unleash a global flu epidemic.
Gibbs said Obama was not at risk during last week's trip to Mexico.
