Reporting from Mecca, Al Jazeera's Ayman Mohyeldin, says the deaths have raised alarm bells. "Officials are working to ascertain whether these individuals arrived in the kingdom already infected with swine flu or if they got the virus when they arrived. 'There are expected to be at least 3 million pilgrims attending it [the Hajj] coming from all countries around the world, but the concern for the officials is how to prevent the outbreak', Mohyeldin said. Face-masks have been distributed to the general public and disinfectants are readily available. Authorities are also asking people not to eat in public areas to preserve hygiene."
