Special Report:  World Tackles A/H1N1 Flu  　

    BEIJING, May 7 -- Thirty-three quarantined people including 10 Mexicans have been in good condition in Guomen Hotel Beijing, showing no symptom of the A/H1N1 flu since being transferred from Beijing Ditan Hospital on May 2.

    Guomen Hotel Beijing have been cleaned and disinfected as quarantine residence after removing some 100 former customers. The sewage disposal system and water supply system have gone through tests by health and anti-epidemic department and CTC monitoring systems. The Hotel also switched off the air-supply outlet of the central conditioning system in a bid to avoid the possibility of cross infection. Windows of the hotel rooms have been kept open to let the fresh air in.

    Among the 33 quarantined, eight Mexicans left the Hotel on Tuesday and headed home on a chartered flight.

    Soundbites: Yu Debin, deputy director of Beijing Tourist Bureau, chief commander of quarantined residence, said,"There are now 229 people in service including the hotel staffs, command members, personnel in health and anti-epidemic department, doctors, experts and CTC inspectors."

    These persons in quarantine are from Mexico, Beijing, Yunnan and Jilin, so the hotel prepares different food to suit their tastes. For example, western food is served for Mexicans and spicy food for Yunnanese. They are all in good condition during the quarantine period.

    The quarantine residence is divided into isolated area and living area. The quarantined are allowed to do whatever they want in the designated areas.
