Recent cases of group infection have also highlighted the rising risk of an A(H1N1) flu pandemic in China. On Sunday, a senior high school in central China's Henan Province reported 80 confirmed flu cases, and reported 29 new confirmed cases Tuesday. while a junior high school in northwestern Gansu Province reported 26 cases.

So far, vaccines for the A(H1N1) flu virus produced by two Chinese pharmaceutical companies, Sinovac and Hualan Biological Engineering Inc., have passed expert evaluation organized by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA).

Both companies are hopeful of getting production licenses for their drugs this week, if given the green lights by the SFDA.

Health Minister Chen Zhu said in August that China would be able to produce enough A(H1N1) flu vaccine for 65 million people by the end of the year.

The Chinese mainland reported its first critical case of the A(H1N1) flu on August 13. The case involved a 17-year-old high school student in the southern province of Guangdong who had been in a coma for about a week at the time.

He was later diagnosed with a rare genetic disease named Brugada Syndrome, which was believed to have led to his critical condition, his doctors said.

On July 1, an infected patient in Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province, reportedly died of electrocution in a ward lavatory. The death was thought to have been caused by a faulty electrical circuit.
