H1N1 Short Update

With just about one week left to go before the GNETWORK360 Conference in Buenos Aires we felt we should update you about the H1N1 flu virus here in Argentina. Although it has received much media attention recently the general consensus seems to be that, with reasonable precautions, travel to Argentina is still quite safe.

However, it is recommended not to travel on the Subte or transit buses during rush hours when the occupancy is very high in a confined space. We are also taking all reasonable precautions at the event locations to ensure adequate health practices. Looking forward to welcoming you all next week in the sizzling Paris of South America!
