Bird flu quarantine ends

A total of 110 people who had close contact with two patients with avian influenza H5N1 in southwest China's Guizhou Province this month have been released from quarantine, local health authorities announced yesterday.

Two residents of the provincial capital of Guiyang were reported to have contracted the H5N1 virus on February 8. Health officials put 110 people who had close contact with them under quarantine. They were released as no abnormal symptoms were found.

One patient, a 21-year-old woman, died of multiple organ failure last Wednesday. The other patient, a 31-year-old man, is still receiving medical treatment.

No new avian influenza H5N1 cases have been reported.
