Battle against H1N1 may develop new diagnosis

Some patients infected by the H1N1 virus are now being treated at home instead of immediately hospitalized.

The change comes as the Chinese government adjusts its efforts in light of the flu's continued spread.

When asked if this meant the government was easing its control measures, Liang Wannian, deputy director of the emergency response office under the Ministry of Health, said: "We are closely watching the pandemic development across the nation and will adjust measures accordingly."
