About 110 people from the AeroMexico flight were put under quarantine.
They are scattered across 18 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
None are showing any flu-like symptoms.
A Mexican student, who volunteered to stay in Shanghai for the quarantine, expressed gratitude to the local health authorities.
A Mexican student said, "We appreciate you for helping us everyday, because I understand what the Chinese government is doing for us and also for Mexico."
