Chinese mainland A/H1N1 cases reach 2,200

Among the newly confirmed cases, 19 were imported. The remainders were infected in the Chinese mainland, the ministry said.

    The Chinese mainland reported its 1,000th confirmed A/H1N1 case in early July. Since then, the number of confirmed cases has been growing at an average of 40 a day.

   There have been no fatal or critical cases resulting from A/H1N1 reported on the Chinese mainland so far, but one infected patient in Hangzhou from eastern Zhejiang Province reportedly died of electrocution in a ward lavatory on July 1. The death was thought to have been caused by a faulty electric circuit, Kazinform cites Xinhua. See www.chinaview.cn for full version.
