The World Health Organization says China has acted correctly in quarantining the Mexican tourists in Beijing. Mexico's Ambassador to China, Jorge Guajardo, has criticized Beijing's handling of the quarantine of over 70 Mexicans in China.

The World Health Organization says China has acted correctly in quarantining the Mexican tourists in Beijing.

The W.H.O. says suspected A/H1N1 flu cases should be quarantined and monitored for seven days.

Dr. Hans Troedsson, WHO representative, China, said, "You can quarantine in health facilities, as well as you can have people quarantined in their homes, and hotels and so on. So what China has done here, from what I understand, is that they have taken action here in line with their regulations. And it is important that there is a monitoring of suspected cases."
