Fight against bird flu
Print Edition
ALL wet markets in Zhejiang Province have been ordered to halt live poultry sales as bird flu season returns.
In January alone, Zhejiang reported 35 human infections of the H7N9 bird flu virus. Most of these patients contracted the flu through contact with live chickens in rural parts of Hangzhou, Wenzhou and Lishui. Eleven patients died.
The province reported only 44 H7N9 cases last year with live poultry contact cited in 97.7 percent of the infections, 7.7 percentage points more than in 2015.
Several Chinese provinces have stepped up bird flu prevention efforts after multiple reports of human infection.
Authorities closed 280 live poultry markets in Suining, a city in southwest China’s Sichuan Province, after cases were reported this year.
Hubei Province in central China set up an H7N9 prevention and control center; while Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, suspended live poultry trading across the city. Hunan has reported 19 human H7N9 cases, including five fatalities, this year.
Since January, the provinces of Liaoning, Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, Guangdong and Guizhou all reported human H7N9 cases.
