The two are colleagues and were sent to Mexico on April 16 by their company on business, Wang said.

"A nutritious and delicious diet had been offered for them every day," Wang said.

None of the passengers quarantined had shown flu symptoms as of Sunday noon, China's health ministry said.

There were 176 people and 13 crew members on the flight. Of these 56 disembarked in Shanghai, 41 caught a connecting flight to Guangzhou, 17 transferred to Beijing, and two were refused entry to China. That accounts for 116 of the passengers, some of whom -- including the Mexican male -- flew on to Hong Kong, taking China Eastern Airlines flight MU505.

The Mexican was put into quarantine in the Metropark Hotel, in Hong Kong, said the Special Administrative Region's Health Department.

All those quarantined were quarantined on the orders of China's Health Ministry.
