Chinese Bridge summer camp was jointly organized by Hanban, an organization affiliated to the Chinese Ministry of Education with the mission to promote Chinese teaching overseas, and Confucius Class at St. Mary's School in Medfort, Oregon, US. The summer camp has 71 members, including students and chaperones. Nicholas Phillips is the assistant director of Confucius Class at St. Mary's School.

According to a schedule posted on the Web site of the American school, the campers arrived in Beijing on July 15. They will depart Zhengzhou for the United Unites on July 31.

Zhou confirmed that the American campers flew from Beijing to Henan and arrived in Zhengzhou Saturday afternoon. They visited Dengfeng, where the famed Shaolin Temple is located, and Kaifeng, a historical city.

Moczygemba showed fever Sunday and was diagnosed with A(H1N1) flu the next day. He was immediately isolated for medical treatment. Carroll and Lyle were also hospitalized.

The other campers were allowed to continue to travel around Henan as long as they adopt protective measures as required, such as wearing face masks. Health department workers of Zhengzhou City only carried out sporadic sample tests on the campers, according to Zhou.
