U.S. health officials are no longer recommending that schools close for two weeks over suspected cases of the A/H1N1 flu virus. Hundreds of schools around the country had followed the guidance in the past week. At a press briefing Tuesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the virus had turned out to be milder than initially feared. The number of confirmed cases in the U.S. is now over 400, with hundreds more probable cases. Meanwhile Tuesday, China allowed quarantined Mexicans to head home, dousing one diplomatic brushfire sparked from its handling of the flu outbreak, as new friction rose with Canada over banned pig imports and a group of quarantined Canadian university students. Earlier, the World Health Organization's Keiji Fukuda gave the most recent numbers: 1,490 laboratory-confirmed cases of the flu and 30 deaths.
