The most important signal will be the appearance of clusters of patients with clinical influenza suggesting H5N1, closely related in time and place, suggesting human- to-human transmission. Organizations like WHO and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are monitoring the current H5N1 situation and will not officially proclaim the beginning of a pandemic until confirmed by their reference laboratories.
