Ninety-five Chinese
nationals brought home from Mexico on May 6 are no longer quarantined amid fears
of the A/H1N1 virus, but three others remain under observation in Shanghai,
local authorities said on Wednesday afternoon. Among the 98 Chinese citizens and one medical expert,
95 have been confirmed healthy and were sent home as of 4:30 p.m., said Chen
Qiwei, spokesman of Shanghai Municipal Government.
"The flu is still spreading. The quarantine is necessary," said Lu Hongzhou, the medical expert back from Mexico and one of the released. The 98 travelers were brought back to Shanghai on a charted plane May 6. All of the passengers were in normal condition. China sent the flight to retrieve Chinese nationals under an agreement with Mexico, which has been battling the flu outbreak, to return each other's nationals.
