Special Report: Tech MaxLIMA, May 5 (Xinhua) -- A second emergency flight from Mexico arrived here on Tuesday, with 17 Peruvian citizens aboard who were fleeing the deadly new A/H1N1 flu strain.
After getting off the plane, the passengers were immediately taken to a room to be checked for H1N1 flu-like symptoms, including breathing difficulties, headaches, muscular pain and sharply higher temperature.
On April 28, Peru suspended flights to and from Mexico in an effort to prevent the spread of the H1N1 flu virus, which has caused 29 confirmed deaths in Mexico.
Peru's Transport and Communications Ministry only allows a limited number of Mexico-Peru flights aiming to protect the health of Peruvians in Mexico who wish to return home.
