Teachers of the No 15 High School in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, have purchased about 200 kg of garlic, which students are forced to eat every day for lunch.

The school staff believe eating garlic can prevent the H1N1 flu.

Students said even though they could smell garlic in every corner of the school premises they appreciated the school's efforts to keep them safe from the pandemic.
