China has banned hog and pork product imports fromMexico and parts of the United States with immediate effect, thegovernment said in a statement.
The ban was aimed at preventing the outbreak of swine flu fromentering China, the agriculture ministry and the General Administrationof Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said in jointstatement.
Imports from the US states of Texas, Kansas and California were affected by the move, according to the statement.
The disease cannot be transmitted by eating properly cooked pork but the Philippines has already brought in a similar ban.
No cases of swine flu have been been reported in China, which was atthe centre of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic in2003, but the government urged citizens to immediately reports anysigns.
"At present, there's no swine flu case in China. What we are doingis closely monitoring for human cases and let the public know how toprevent the disease," a health ministry spokesman said.
The health ministry, in contrast to its slow response to SARS,pre-emptively issued a detailed statement warning people to ensure allpork is cooked properly and warning of the symptoms.
The government did not advise against non-essential travel to worst-hit Mexico, where 20 deaths have been confirmed.
However, it warned Chinese citizens to avoid contact with pigs andsee a doctor immediately if they fall ill while travelling in Mexico.
It urged the same precautions for travellers to the three US states covered by the import ban.
The ministry stressed that although there is no vaccine yet, the disease is preventable, controllable and treatable |
