Dozens of Mexicans quarantined in China because of fears they may be infected with swine flu are being flown home on a specially-chartered Mexican plane.
About 70 Mexicans were confined despite just one confirmed case of the virus.
The issue sparked a diplomatic row, with Mexico accusing China of targeting its citizens unfairly, and Beijing saying it was a "purely medical" issue.
Some 26 people have died of the virus in Mexico and more than 1,000 cases have been reported in 20 countries.
But just one fatality has been recorded outside Mexico - a two-year-old Mexican boy who died in the US while on a visit.
Mexico now puts the number of infections within its borders at 840.
In other developments:
The World Health Organization says 1,490 people around the world have so far contracted the H1N1 swine flu virus. However, WHO figures often lag behind those announced by national government laboratories
In the UK, delivery begins of specially-produced leaflets offering advice on swine flu and advice on how to prevent its spread
South Korea reports its second confirmed case of swine flu, the first instance of human-to-human transmission in Asia.
Masked escort
The charter plane taking Mexicans out of China landed in Shanghai on Tuesday at about 1300 local time (0500 GMT) to pick up the first group of quarantined Mexicans.
Masked medical staff then escorted the Mexicans into ambulances to take them to the airport, before they cleared immigration and customs at a temporary outdoor facility.
The flight then continued on to Beijing, Guangzhou and Hong Kong before returning to Mexico City.
