The Associated Press: Hong Kong isolates hotel after 1st swine flu case

The Associated Press: Hong Kong isolates hotel after 1st swine flu case: "HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong quarantined hundreds of hotel guests and workers Friday after a tourist from Mexico tested positive for swine flu, Asia's first confirmed case of the disease. With memories of 2003's deadly SARS outbreak still fresh, the government moved quickly to track those exposed to the infected man and contain the potential spread of the disease.

Health workers wearing full body suits and masks wiped the tables, floor and windows in a room at the Metropark Hotel as guests in other rooms waved to photographers. It wasn't immediately clear if the room being cleaned was where the patient stayed."
