WASHINGTON -- Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and the acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionare holding a news conference Sunday on swine flu and the government's response.
Watch FOX News Channel and FOXNews.com for the briefing with Secretary Napolitano at 12:30 p.m. ET.
So far, at least 11 cases of swine flu have been confirmed in California, Texas and Kansas.
Patients have ranged in age from 9 to over 50. At least two were hospitalized.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs will also participate in the briefing. He said Sunday that now is not the time to panic about the spread of the disease as homeland security officials, health and human services officials, the CDC and the Homeland Security Council in the White House are all briefing President Obama on the movement of the flu.
He added that the White House is closely watching developments.
"We are increasing the monitoring and preparedness that we would need to have in place in order to deal with any sort of emergency, but it is of concern to the White House," Gibbs said on "Meet the Press."
The deadly swine flu strain in Mexico has killed up to 81 people and likely sickened 1,324 since April 13. Israel and Spain have both reported suspected isolated cases after citizens from those countries returned home from Mexico.
The Israeli Health Ministry said the biggest concern is a spread of the disease from person to person.
"The main route of contamination would be from person to person and not from pigs. There is no swine flu in pigs in Israel. There are not many pigs in Israel," said Dr. Hagai Levin.
Swine flu is dangerous because it changes its form and takes on characteristics like bird flu, and there is no vaccination, said Dr. Isador Rosenfeld, a FOX News contributor.
"It's a melange of viruses packed into one," Rosenfeld said, adding that swine flu is usually a mild infection. He suggested staying away from crowded places where people are sneezing and coughing and washing hands.
He said he's a bit confused why so many people in Mexico have died because swine flu does respond to Tamiflu and other anti-viral medicines.
"This thing is treatable," he said
