Check the flu

The influenza A (N1H1) has come in to the country in spite of the tightened control at international airports. A day after the first case was confirmed, the second suspected one was reported on Tuesday.

It is not surprising that the flu finally hit China. It is unrealistic to expect that tightened measures at airports will stop the virus from entering the country, given daily trips to and from flu-affected countries and regions.

Yet, if we do an even better job in carrying out the necessary checks and preventive measures besides preparing for every contingency, we can hopefully keep the flu in check.
