Updated: 2009-05-18 22:17 DALIAN -- A man was detained in northeast China's Liaoning Province for pretending to be A(H1N1) patient, said local police Monday.
A migrant worker from Tieling of Liaoning, Li felt ill last Wednesday morning, but did not seek medical attention because of the fear of how much treatment would cost. After watching TV, he learned about the A(H1N1) epidemic and thought he would have his illness cured for free if he said he was infected. According to Li's confession, he drank alcohol before calling an ambulance with his mobile phone. He claimed he had A(H1N1). Doctors, however, failed to find him at the address he provided and police were put on high alert. Li was found Friday and diagnosed with an ordinary strain of the flu. He has since recovered. China has three confirmed cases of A(H1N1) flu on the mainland and one suspected case. |
