A Chinese mainland male surnamed Bao, who recently returned from the U.S., tested positive for the A/H1N1 influenza, the Chinese Ministry of Health said. The 30-year-old patient was at the Chengdu Infectious Disease Hospital in Chengdu, southwestern Sichuan's provincial capital. Those who had close contact with him were isolated for observation. China confirms first case of A/H1N1 influenza The patient is currently in a stable condition with a normal body temperature, and is "recovering", the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on its website. It is the first such case reported on the Chinese mainland. Bao was the second confirmed case of A/H1N1 influenza in China, after the World Health Organization expressed concern about an outbreak of the flu in the United States and Mexico late last month. A 25-year-old male Mexican was confirmed on May 1 in Hong Kong to be infected with influenza A/H1N1, and those who were in close contact with him have been put under quarantine in 19 mainland provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions as well as Hong Kong and Macao. So far, the A/H1N1 flu has caused 53 deaths worldwide and infected more than 4,500 people in 29 countries, including about 1,626 in Mexico, at least 2,532 in the United States and 280 in Canada. Haunted by memories of the SARS outbreak in 2003, China has taken tough measures to prevent the virus from spreading in the world's most populous country. China's flu-prevention measures include bans on pork product imports from countries and areas affected by the A/H1N1 influenza, and suspension of flights from Mexico to Shanghai. The country also placed some travelers from Mexico, who had been on the same flight with a person infected with the A/H1N1 influenza, under a week-long quarantine. Although the strict measures drew complaints from Mexico, Chinese health and law experts backed the government's efforts, saying they are necessary and in line with China's laws.
