Suspected case found in Shandong

A suspected case of H1N1 flu has been reported in Shandong province, the Ministry of Health said last night, the announcement coming a day after the Chinese mainland confirmed its first case.

A 19-year-old student surnamed Lu has been isolated in a Jinan hospital; and tests yesterday morning showed he possibly contracted the virus.

Lu, who was studying in a college in Canada, arrived in Beijing at 2:30 pm by flight AC029 last Friday.
