Ms. Qian is from Hong Kong and she frequently travels to Guangzhou on business. Today she's wearing a mask.
"Because the TV reported that a passenger was confirmed to have been infected with H1N1, I am much more careful now. "
Vice director of the Tianhe Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, Ou Guoyu, said that every passenger from Hong Kong needs to go through 3 temperature tests.
"Train attendants will request that all passengers fill in health declaration forms and conduct the first check with ear thermometers. At the boarder checkpoints, passengers will be tested twice. If one's temperature is too high, he or she will need to take further checks. "
The health authority today also reported a suspected H1N1 case in Tibet. An Italian tourist was being treated at a hospital in the town of Zham bordering Nepal.
