Chinese Mainland's First A/H1N1 Flu Patient Recovering
Anchor: Chinese health authorities say the mainland's first confirmed H1N1 patient is recovering.
Meanwhile, Beijing health officials are trying every effort to trace the passengers who have had exposure to the mainland's second patient in the Chinese capital.
Tu Yun has more.
The first confirmed case of H1N1 flu in the Chinese mainland is being kept in the Chengdu Infectious Diseases Hospital in Sichuan province.
Tian Ming, vice president of the hospital says the patient's temperature is now normal, and his symptoms show alleviation.
The doctor says they've conducted psychological intervention for the patient.
"When he first came to our hospital he was acting anxious. Our medical workers conducted a psychological consultation with him along with the treatment. Now his mood is relatively healthy."
The 30-year-old man was found to have a fever after coming back from the United States.
He was confirmed infected with the virus after flying to Chengdu.
A total of 125 people were quarantined in Chengdu, including 94 passengers and 31 other people with contact with the passengers.
Chengdu has not received reports about new confirmed or suspected H1N1 cases as of Tuesday afternoon.
In the meantime, Beijing health officials are trying their best to trace passengers, who have had exposure to the mainland's second confirmed H1N1 flu patient in the capital city.
The case involved a 19-year-old student.
He arrived in Beijing from Canada last week, and traveled to the Province of Shandong by train after staying in Beijing for three days.
But tracing train passengers could be more difficult than air passengers as ID is not required before boarding.
