In lieu of these developments, The Villa Group encourages travelers to take
advantage of the current low rates and visit Mexico now. CDC today removed
the Travel Health Warning against non-essential visits to Mexico, while
maintaining recommendations for travel health safety.
SAN DIEGO, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- In their continuous efforts to track and
monitor the H1N1 virus in Mexico, CDC has noted that the virus activity is
slowing down, and today, lifted the Travel Health Warning for travel to
Mexico. The CDC disclosed that "risk of severe disease from novel H1N1 virus
infection now appears to be less than originally thought" and recently
reported cases throughout the world have been determined to be unrelated to
travel in Mexico.
Coming on the tails of the CDC's announcement, The Villa Group, owners of a
unique collection of Mexican resorts and spas, wishes to welcome visitors back
to Mexico. Many vacationers are continuing to book reservations at the Villa
Group resorts in Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, and Nuevo Vallarta/Riviera
Nayarit. These guests have taken advantage of great rates in locations that
remain unaffected by the H1N1 virus. Find out more about what these
vacationers are saying.
The World Health Organization also announced this week that they would not
recommend placing restrictions on travel between countries, as this would have
minimal effects against spreading the disease, and would be "highly
disruptive" in the global community.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) still recommends that anyone who feels
sick or shows any symptoms of regular seasonal flu, which is very similar to
the H1N1 virus, should stay home (except to seek medical treatment) to prevent
spreading the virus.
Please visit www.villagroupresorts.com to stay updated on The Villa Group
happenings in and around their resorts. No cases of the H1N1 virus have been
reported at any of The Villa Group's resort destinations, and with the easing
of travel restrictions there's never been a better time to plan a Mexican
getaway.
