2009-05-03来源:和谐英语


The Chinese government has activated a quick online reporting system for influenza A H1N1 following the first confirmed case of the virus in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Ma Jiaqi is the director of China's National Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

"We have added the AH1N1 flu to our updated online reporting system. From now on, local health authorities can directly and swiftly report to the national center when they find suspected or confirmed cases of the virus."

China's Ministry of Health says they will ask experts from the World Health Organization office in China to join a team for the prevention and control of influenza A/H1N1.(www.hXen.com)

Meanwhile, health authorities have confirmed that 15 people suspected of having swine flu are in quarantine in Beijing.

Cheng Jun, vice director of Beijing's Ditan Hospital, says the 15 people are not showing signs of fever.

"The 15 people under medical observation at Beijing Ditan Hospital are doing well. Their temperatures are normal, and they have no symptoms of swine flu."

The group of people was on a flight from Mexico City to Shanghai on Thursday. They included the Mexican tourist who was subsequently diagnosed with the A H1N1 virus in Hong Kong.
