Chinese mainland’s first confirmed A/H1N1 patient who was only identified by the family name Bao is recovering, said He Jun, spokesman of Chengdu City Health Department in Sichuan Province, Tuesday.
“Bao’s life signs are stable: normal temperature, alleviated symptoms, lighter coughing after three days’ medication and care by medical workers from the Health Ministry, Sichuan Province and Chengdu City,” he said at a news briefing held by Chengdu City Government Tuesday.
Bao was also relieved of anxiety through psychological intervention and counseling, and was in a healthy mood, said He.
Bao’s father and girlfriend, both of whom had close contact with the patient and were requested to receive medical observation at Chengdu Infectious Diseases Hospital, the same hospital where Bao is kept, were transferred to the centralized observation camp of Chengdu City Tuesday afternoon.
Meanwhile, via silive.com, a Staten Island news source, China’s second suspected case, in Shandong province, has “already nearly recovered.”
