China's second suspected case of swine flu hits Shandong

swineflu_small.jpg China is now reporting a second suspected case of swine flu located in Shandong Province. A man, surnamed Lv, had flown from Canada to Beijing before taking a train to Jinan, Shandong's capital on May 8. Three days later, he checked himself into the Jinan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, complaining of fever, sore throat and a headache. Tests showed he was "suspected positive" of the A/H1N1 virus, though the virus specimens need to be sent to a main office for further testing. This follows two days after China's first suspected case, a man surnamed Bao who was quarantined in a Chengdu contagious disease control hospital. Source: China Daily
