Geneva: The swine flu pandemic will last for a period of one or two years, the World Health Organisation's Assistant Director General Keiji Fukuda said.

"For a period for one to two years the virus is going around the world, and is getting people infected in a way a pandemic virus will get people infected... We need to be flexible how we respond to it," said Fukuda.

Fukuda was speaking after the WHO declared the world's first influenza pandemic in 40 years for the A(H1N1) virus, which has infected tens of thousands of people in 74 countries.

"We are going to monitor this very closely, we're are going to see what kind of disease activity we see," Fukuda added.
