Beijing: China has quarantined 130 of 150 passengers aboard the flight that carried the 30-year old Chinese traveller who has been diagnosed with swine flu. He is the first case to surface in mainland China as the other case involved a Mexican, who was diagnosed in Hong Kong.
Bao, a student of the University of Missouri in the US, flew from St Louis to Tokyo and later took a flight from Tokyo to Beijing on Saturday. From there he flew to Chengdu, where he was found with H1N1 flu.
Reports said the man had developed symptoms of fever on the flight from Beijing to Chengdu. The Sichuan Center for Disease Control and Prevention said on Monday that he had tested "weakly positive" to A/H1N1 virus twice. He was "conscious and in stable condition".
The World Health Organization on Monday raised its tally of confirmed human cases of swine flu to 4,694 in 30 countries, after the US shot ahead of Mexico over the weekend.
