China on Monday confirmed a 30-year-old student surnamed Bao, just back from the United States as its first case of swine flu on the mainland and has quarantined dozens of other people who were on a flight with him. Bao tested positive for Type A H1N1 influenza, China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday. (AP Photo/ Elizabeth Dalziel) The H1N1 virus has spread to China killing a third person in the United States, state media reported on Monday.

Chinese officials are now searching for about 150 people who took the same flights as the 30-year-old man, first from Tokyo to Beijing and then from Beijing to the Sichuan provincial capital Chengdu.

The Government of China has already tracked down close to 150 people who may have come into contact with that man and have placed them in quarantine. None of those people have shown any flu symptoms yet.
