BEIJING, April 27 -- Chinese officials are reassuring the public inspectors have the capability to detect and prevent swine flu from entering the country.

    The A-H-1-N-1 flu strain, a mixture of swine, human and avian flu viruses, has killed at least 62 people and sickened about 900 others in Mexico and the U.S. since it was first detected last week.

    Li Huailin with the Chinese Academy of Inspection and Quarantine says the academy is currently assisting the government in efforts to prevent swine flu from entering the country.

    As of Sunday, no cases had been reported, according to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.Although there is no known vaccine against swine flu, the center claims it is quote--"preventable, controllable, and treatable."

    Saturday, Chinese officials issued an emergency notice for people arriving from virus-affected countries to report any flu-like symptoms at the point of entry or at a quarantine station should symptoms develop later.
