BEIJING: China has reported 22 more cases of swine flu, bringing the total on the mainland to 165.

The Ministry of Health said on its Web site Saturday that the cities of Beijing and Shanghai have reported more cases, as did provinces in central, eastern and southern China.

The world's most populous country has quarantined travelers including New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin on the slightest suspicion of contact with an infected person, and has increased surveillance of the virus with temperature checks on incoming passengers at airports.

There have been no reports of deaths.

Hong Kong, which tallies swine flu cases separately, said Saturday it had confirmed five more cases, bringing the total tally to 78.
