(CNN) -- An outbreak of the H1N1 virus, known commonly as the swine flu, has hit the Venezuelan Andean state of Merida, the country's health minister said, the state-run AVN news agency reported.
More than 100 cases of H1N1 have been recorded in Venezuela as of Tuesday, Eugenia Sader said.
In Merida alone there are 56 cases which have tested positive for the virus, and special precautions have been put in place in that state, AVN reported. Classes in Merida have been canceled for five days, and a ban has been placed on events at night clubs and other closed-in venues, the agency reported.
