外交部就加拿大留學生隔離答記者問
Q: The Canadian Government is questioning the necessity of 25 Canadian students being quarantined in Changchun City. How do you respond? Is this a measure taken by local authorities or a general policy of the national Government?
答：據瞭解，鑑於5月2日加拿大已確診51人感染甲型H1N1流感，爲保障公共衛生安全，吉林省有關部門根據《中華人民共和國傳染病防治法》、《中華人民共和國國境衛生檢疫法》的有關規定，對當晚抵達長春市的25名加拿大等國留學生實施爲期7天的醫學觀察。目前，這批留學生被妥善安置在長春市的賓館內，中方有關部門對他們的住宿、飲食、健康檢測等做了周到、妥善的安排。留學生們體溫正常，身體健康狀況良好，情緒穩定，對中方的安排表示滿意。吉林省外辦已將上述情況通報了有關國家駐華使館。
A: As I have learnt, given that 51 people in Canada were confirmed to have infected influenza A H1N1 on May 2, for the sake of public health, relevant authorities of Jilin Province put 25 students from Canada and other countries arriving that night under a 7-day quarantine according to Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases and The Frontier Sanitation and Quarantine Law of the PRC. Now, the students are staying at a hotel in Changchun with accommodation, food and health care properly arranged. They are in good health and stable mood with normal body temperature and satisfied with China's arrangement. The foreign office of Jilin Province has already informed relevant embassies in China.
