Cabinet Chief, Aníbal Fernández, said that the H1N1 influenza virus that caused at least 165 deaths in Argentina is "under control."

Fernández said during a press conference after his meeting with Santa Fe Province's governor, Hermes Binner, that "now there aren't too many cases in the country." He also compared the figures of respiratory illness' deaths with the cases during this year.

"Last years' figures show that during these months there was a lower amount of deaths," he described.
