Five others who were previously in critical condition were also recovering, as three of them were clearly getting better and the vital signs of the other two were stable Monday morning, said Wang Jun, deputy director of the Shanxi Provincial Department of Health at a press conference.
Xiao Chuanshi, president of the No. 2 Hospital, said the injured were expected to make a full recovery within three weeks.

In addition to the 74 fatalities, the gas blast injured a total of 114 miners. Most of the injured miners showed symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. |
