Print Edition
A WOMAN in Hubei Province has been detained for spreading rumors of a deadly bird flu outbreak, police said Saturday.
A post went viral on China’s biggest social network WeChat on Thursday saying an outbreak of H7N9 human infection had attacked eight medical workers and some family members after a villager in the suburbs of Xiantao City was infected.
The post caused widespread panic.
A woman surnamed Chen surrendered herself to police Thursday night, saying she had fabricated the rumor and spread it on WeChat. She was put in detention for five days starting Friday. China has stepped up prevention of human H7N9 avian flu which has killed 87 people since January.
