Peru lifts ban on Mexico flights after flu fears

LIMA, May 13 (Reuters) - Peru lifted its ban on airline
flights to and from Mexico on Wednesday, two weeks after
suspending them over H1N1 flu fears, the health minister said.

Peruvian Health Minister Oscar Ugarte has not yet reported
a confirmed case of what has been called swine flu, but he said
health officials will continue to monitor travelers arriving
from Mexico.

Mexico has confirmed 60 deaths from the virus, which has
already spread throughout the world.

On Wednesday, Mexico's Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova
said fewer people are falling ill with the virus and that it
will likely kill no more than 100 people in his country as the
government steps up control and treatment measures.
