China sent medical supplies to Mexico to help fight a flu epidemic that has killed up to 176 people, and more aid will be arriving next week, China’s Ambassador to Mexico Yin Hengmin said.
The $3 million shipment arrived by plane on Friday and included millions of protective masks and 80 infrared scanners that can be used to detect fever in travelers as they pass through airports and bus stations.
Another action China has taken to guard against the flu virus is its temporary suspension of flights from Mexico. From Xinhua:
With a case of influenza A/H1N1 confirmed in a flight coming from Mexico, the Chinese government has decided to suspend flights from Mexico to Shanghai in east China, the Foreign Ministry said Saturday.
China has notified the Mexican government and airline companies about the decision, sources from the ministry said. When the flights will be resumed depends on the situation of the pandemic control.
