Former Mexican President Vicente Fox says his country's measures to contain swine flu seem to be working.
Fox appeared Friday on Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty's weekly radio show on WCCO-AM.
Fox says President Felipe Calderon and other authorities are doing a "great job." He says the situation "seems to be well under their control up to now."
The ex-president says shutting down most activities is slowing the flu's spread.
Fox said, "No schools, no factories, no theaters, no vacations, no nothing. Everybody's at home taking care of themselves."
