British Students Quarantined for Swine Flu in China

Filed under China |

Eight British teens on holiday in China have come down with swine flu and are being treated, while 107 other teens in the same group have been quarantined. They are part of a group of 600 British students and teachers on a language and cultural immersion tour to China.

Matthew Barnett is one of the students who has come down with swine flu. His mother said, "I think he's ok but he's a bit homesick now. He is being treated quite well but we don't know when he can come home because they don't know if anyone else will be taken ill over there."
