ADVERTISEMENT US health authorities said swine flu was now present in more than half of its states while Colombia became the 19th country to verify a case on its soil. But although the latest tranche of figures worldwide underpinned fears of a spread of the disease, Mexico, at the epicentre of the outbreak, expressed confidence that the worst was now over. The epidemic "is in its phase of decline. The national peak was between April 23 and 28," Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova told reporters. The number of confirmed deaths from the virus was unchanged from late Saturday at 19, while the number of confirmed infected cases had risen by 33 to 487, he added. Containment measures, including the public's wearing of face masks and regular hand-washing, had been effective in limiting the flu's spread, said Cordova. But it was important "not to lower one's guard," he said. Health authorities in the US, the only other country where a patient has died of the virus, said that swine flu was now present in 30 states with 226 confirmed infections in 30 states. But Secretary for Health and Human Services Kathleen Sibelius saw grounds to be "cautiously optimistic", saying the "situation seems to be lessening." In Spain, the number of confirmed swine flu cases rose to 40, double the previous number, Madrid's health ministry announced, but added that only six victims were still being treated in hospital. The number of swine flu sufferers in Britain meanwhile rose to 18 as a man who had returned from the United States and two schoolchildren tested positive, health authorities said. In China, Mexico's ambassador complained that Mexicans were being treated unfairly after learning that about 50 were being held in isolation across the country. Ambassador Jorge Guajardo succeeded in visiting 10 Mexicans 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," he 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 had 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. World health experts have also said there is no evidence that the virus is transmitted by eating pork but Egyptian authorities are nevertheless pushing ahead with the mass slaughter of the nation's 250,000 pigs. In Cairo, Egyptian riot police clashed on Sunday with stone-throwing pig farmers who were trying to prevent their animals being taken away for slaughter as part of a mass nationwide cull. Between 300 and 400 residents of the hilly Moqattam slum district, where mostly Coptic Christian scrap merchants raise pigs, hurled stones and bottles at police. Anti-riot police replied by firing rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the demonstrators, most of them youths.
