GENEVA, April 26 (Reuters) - International experts will convene on

"We need more epidemiological evidence from Mexico before the experts
would be in a position to advise on a pandemic change," WHO spokesman
Gregory Hartl told Reuters on Sunday.
"An advisory body will recommend whether or not the director-general
should up (raise) the phase. They are meeting again on Tuesday," he
said.
Current level is 3 on a scale of 1 to 6
