Anti-viral drugs believed to be effective in treating the swine flu - Tamiflu and Relenza - are also in plentiful supply. Olympic diver Matthew Mitcham is stranded in a training camp in the coastal town of Veracruz, some 400 kilometres west of Mexico city. The Beijing Games gold medallist and his diving partner Alexandra Croak participated in a FINA world diving series event in Mexico City last weekend. "I'm more concerned boarding a plane than I am staying here," Mitcham told ABC Radio. The pair will continue to train in the town until the NSW Institute of Sport can find a flight for them and has sent them Tamiflu as a precaution. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has advised Australians to reconsider travelling to Mexico, where swine flu is feared to have killed 152 people. Travellers are also warned to exercise caution in the United States and Canada, where non-fatal swine flu cases have been confirmed. The Queensland state government is pressing ahead with trade missions despite the swine flu outbreak. Queensland Premier Anna Bligh is scheduled to leave next week on a two-week trade mission to Spain, the United Arab Emirates and Russia. There has been two confirmed cases of swine flu in Spain. Trade Minister Stephen Robertson is due to visit a biotechnology conference in the US in May. Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon said Governor-General Quentin Bryce has consented to sweeping new quarantine powers for health officials in response to the global outbreak of swine flu. Authorities now have the power to detain people with symptoms of the virus. But Ms Roxon stressed the powers were only precautionary measures and won't necessarily be used. "We are not about to take those steps but we want to make sure that all the powers are there, that we are ready to act if this takes a dramatic turn for the worst," she told ABC Radio. -- → 主選單 → 分組討論區 → 國家研究院 → 科學學術研究院 ─┐ ┌────────────────────────────┘ │ ┌ TY_Research 大氣科學、天氣學 │ ┌ 天文.地球.環境科學研究院 → ├ sky 天文學、太空科學 │ │ ├ Ecophilia 生態、環境 └→ ┤ └ Geography 地理 --
