Four people diagnosed with cutaneous anthrax infections in Northeast China's Liaoning province are not in critical condition, health officials said on Wednesday.

Three more people are showing symptoms of the disease, but they are yet to be diagnosed, said Yan Hong, a press official with the Liaoning Department of Health.

"All the patients are under treatment and there are no critical cases," she said. Yan added that no other cases of the disease have been found.
