NEW ORLEANS (AP) - New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and his wife have
been quarantined in China after a passenger on their flight
exhibited flu-like symptoms.
Nagin's office said Sunday the couple and a security guard were
quarantined in Shanghai as a precaution and were exhibiting no
swine flu symptoms. There was no word on what flight it was, how
many people were aboard or exactly where they're quarantined.
His office says a passenger had "signs and symptoms of an
influenza-like illness suspected to be of the H1N1 subtype."
Spokeswoman Ceeon Quiett says people sitting near that passenger on
the flight from Newark, N.J., were quarantined.
Nagin left Friday for an economic development trip. He was to
travel next to Australia, where he'd planned to speak on climate
change and sustainable building.
