President Felipe Calderon says Mexico has managed to contain the swine flu epidemic, deploring other countries for poor cooperation with Mexicans over the virus. According to Press TV, Calderon said in an interview on Sunday that his country "is in a position to overcome" the A (H1N1) virus.
He said "We have been able to hold or at least reduce the rate of propagation of the virus to contain the epidemic."
The Mexican president also criticized some countries without naming them for "taking discriminatory measures because of ignorance and misinformation."
His remarks came after Mexico's ambassador to China said Beijing has quarantined over 70 Mexican travelers in hospitals - including some with no symptoms of swine flu.
Calderon noted that Mexico did not try to hide its outbreak like other countries have in the past. China was criticized for initially denying problems related to the 2003 outbreak of SARS.
