Mexico send plane to collect nationals quarantined over swine flu fears
05 May 2009
A Mexican plane flew to China to collect dozens of Mexicans who have been quarantined there because of fears they may be infected with swine flu. About 70 Mexicans were confined despite just one confirmed case of the virus. The issue sparked a diplomatic row, with Mexico accusing China of targeting its citizens unfairly, whilst China said it was a purely medical issue.
