H1N1 continues to spread dramatically in Hong Kong and nearby regions, with 234 new cases of swine flu this week alone, for a total of approximately 5000 confirmed cases in the region. Several patients are in serious to critical condition. Macao, Hong Kong’s immediate neighbor, reports 260 confirmed cases.
The Chinese mainland now has over 2000 confirmed cases, and the number cases grows by about 40 new disgnoses per day. Only 19 of the mainland cases were imported by travellers from other countries, possibly due to China's swift, strict, and controversial quarantines for suspected cases in non-nationals.
