Two New Zealanders in quarantine with suspected swine flu in China have been released.

The New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs says there's now just one kiwi in quarantine in a Shanghai hotel.

An MFAT spokesman says none of the three has tested positive for the disease.

However, he says Chinese health authorities have a policy of putting people who've had contact with swine flu in quarantine for seven days.

He says the New Zealander who's still in quarantine will be released in three to four days.
