China Fears Widespread Bird Flu Outbreaks

It is during the coming spring bird migratory season, China fears possible widespread outbreaks of avian influenza. The health ministry warned this announcing two more human cases of the virus.

Agricultural Minister Du Qinglin says at a parliamentary meeting, “At present we cannot rule out the possibility of widespread outbreaks of the bird flu in China… We must remain on a high-level alert in all areas and continue to earnestly step up prevention and control work.” The Xinhua news agency quoted this on Sunday.

A nine-year-old girl and a 26-year-old woman in eastern China had contracted bird flu and were both in critical condition, Du remarked on Saturday as the health ministry reported.
