Mexico, China bring their citizens home
SHANGHAI/MEXICO CITY. May 6. KAZINFORM. Mexico began repatriating dozens of its citizens quarantined in China due to fears of a new flu virus and announced steps to revive its economy, hit hard by the epidemic; Kazinform refers to Arab News.

An Aeromexico plane left Hong Kong for Mexico early today after picking up stranded Mexicans in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou in the south, and Hong Kong.
China at the weekend suspended flights to and from Mexico, the epicenter of the outbreak, leaving tourists at both ends stranded.
None of the 70 or so Mexicans quarantined in mainland China have shown symptoms of the H1N1 flu. They had been caught up in a drama about how far governments should go to stifle fears the virus could creep across their borders.
Starting today, Mexico would progressively return to normal activities by reopening its businesses, schools, museums and other venues closed for a week or more.
As Mexico prepared to put up business as usual notices, world health officials said the A(H1N1) virus had now affected 1,419 people, including 30 who have died; Kazinform cites Arab News. See www.arabnews.com for full version.
