ADVERTISEMENT Colombia meanwhile announced its first case of A(H1N1) in a man living near the capital, becoming the 18th country to confirm an infection. Mexico, at the epicentre of the international flu outbreak, said the national death toll had reached 19, but Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova said "each day we're seeing fewer serious cases." He said "the mortality rate is dropping" and there were "enough elements to say that we are in a stabilisation phase." Just days earlier, the Mexican government had spoken of 159 "probable" deaths from the new variant of swine flu, which was shown to be spread by human-to-human contact. But stringent tests by US and Canadian labs on the mountain of "probable" cases excluded most of them. In China, Mexico's ambassador complained that Mexicans were being treated unfairly after learning that about 50 were being held in isolation in across the country. Ambassador Jorge Guajardo succeeded in visiting 10 Mexicans being detained in a hotel in Beijing, but only after a brief standoff with a Chinese official who did not want him to enter. The ambassador said a Mexican diplomat living in the Chinese city of Guangzhou had been subjected to special testing after his return from Cambodia -- which has no confirmed swine flu cases -- just because he was Mexican. "We of course object every time somebody is singled out for their nationality, and for no other reason, especially when they have no symptoms or when they are coming from a country that has absolutely no cases," Guajardo said. "No other country in the world is implementing this type of actions, and it is something that concerns the Mexican government a lot. We have stated our objections." Health officials in Hong Kong -- where tropical temperatures and dense population put it at risk -- said they were testing 10 more suspected cases, as the search for anyone who may have come into contact with the city's only positive case went on. Thomas Tsang, controller of the Centre for Health Protection, said 15 new cases of people with flu-like symptoms who have travelled to countries with confirmed swine flu outbreaks had been tested since Saturday. Five were negative, while the others were undergoing further tests, Tsang said. Hong Kong was put on its highest health alert after a 25-year-old Mexican man was found to be carrying the A(H1N1) virus on Friday, in the first confirmed case of swine flu in Asia. The World Health Organization (WHO) said Saturday that the virus had not spread in a sustained way outside of the Americas, a condition necessary to declare a full global pandemic. Clashes erupted in Cairo on Sunday between Egyptian police and pig farmers who were trying to prevent their animals being taken away for slaughter, an AFP correspondent said. Egypt began killing the nation's 250,000 pigs on Saturday, despite the WHO saying there was no evidence the animals were transmitting swine flu to humans. No cases of swine flu have been reported in Egypt. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 160 confirmed cases across 21 states and said more cases and even deaths could follow. Authorities in New York said the city may have seen more than 1,000 cases, but carriers were likely recovering or already cured. In Canada, some 30 new cases were reported on Saturday, bringing the total number of people infected there to more than 85. Officials also confirmed cases had been detected in a pig herd in Alberta, probably contracted from a man who recently returned from Mexico. The three North American nations tried to mitigate the economic impact of the crisis, hitting out at countries which had slapped bans on their pork products. "We strongly urge the international community not to use the outbreak of the H1N1 influenza as a reason to create unnecessary trade restrictions and that decisions be made based on sound scientific evidence," the countries said in a joint statement. Nearly 20 nations, including China and Russia, have imposed bans on the importation of pigs and pork products from Canada, the United States and Mexico. In Europe, Ireland recorded its first case of the flu, in a man who had recently returned from Mexico. And baggage handlers in Paris refused to unload planes arriving from Mexico and Spain over swine flu fears Saturday, causing delays for hundreds of passengers.
