BEIJING -- Health officials Wednesday confirmed mainland China's second H1N1 swine flu case in a week -- a student who recently returned from Canada -- and stepped up screening for domestic travelers to head off an outbreak within the country.
The 19-year-old man, identified only by his surname, Lu, was being treated in isolation in the eastern city of Jinan and his condition was improving, the Health Ministry said on its Web site.
Lab results Wednesday from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention showed Lu was positive for the Type A H1N1 virus, the ministry said.
