Xinhua News, 2009-05-18
Reportedly hoping to receive free medical care for his cold, a migrant worker—identified only by his surname, Li—in Dalian (Liaodong Province) called the 120 emergency hotline, saying he might have contracted the H1N1 flu. After health officials and police began a full-scale infectious disease prevention operation involving Li and everyone he might have had contact with, doctors concluded he had only a common cold and had fraudulently claimed to have swine flu. Local police then sentenced him to 10 days of administrative detention without a trial in accordance with the Security Administration Punishment Law's statute on falsely reporting infectious diseases.
