There are two Polish citizens among the guests of the Hong Kong hotel under quarantine due to a suspicion of swine flu.  

The forced isolation of the tourists and staff will last over a week, said authorities of the city. The quarantine was imposed on the hotel after a 25-year old Mexican tourist was diagnosed with the virus. Not all hotel guests agreed to stay locked in their rooms. Reportedly, twelve persons have been transported to a former resort near the border with continental China.
