Carlsbad students, teachers home after quarantine in China
A dozen students and teachers from Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad have returned to California after people they were traveling with tested positive for swine flu during a trip to China. The group landed at Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday night after being quarantined in China for a week, and another group was expected later Saturday, bringing the total of those who have returned to 29. School spokeswoman Anne Carr said there are still five students in a Chinese hospital awaiting final test results before they can be released. A teacher stayed to supervise them. On June 2, the group of 35 ninth-graders left for China and visited the Great Wall and other historic sites before a few students began to feel ill. It is not known how the illness was contracted. —Associated Press
