About 300 guest and staff members have been allowed to leave a Hong Kong hotel after being quarantined for a week in an attempt to contain the H1N1 flu virus.The guests clapped and cheered on Friday before they walked out of the Metropark Hotel for the first time in seven days. They were shut into the hotel after it emerged that a Mexican who tested positive for the H1N1 virus had stayed there. "Their health is normal and they have all received health certificates ... I want to thank them on behalf of all Hong Kong people for helping us ensure that Hong Kong is safe," York Chow, the territory's health minister, said.The Mexican patient was also released from a hospital in Hong Kong on Friday after a "thorough clinical assessment", officials said.
