Chicken contact puts 11 under quarantine
Print Edition
Eleven people who had direct contact with chicken infected with H5N2 avian influenza virus were in quarantine yesterday in north China’s Hebei Province, according to the local government.
So far none have shown any symptoms nor been confirmed as infected with the virus, the Nanshi District government of Baoding City in Hebei said.
On Sunday, areas within 3 kilometers of a poultry farm where an H5N2 outbreak occurred last week were sealed off.
On December 17, 4,000 chickens at the farm were killed after they showed symptoms of avian flu, according to the Ministry of Agriculture. The National Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory on Saturday confirmed the epidemic was H5N2 after testing samples collected at the farm.
The 11 isolated people, including the farm owner and his wife, remain quarantined on the farm, said Zhang Wenguang, head of the district agriculture bureau.
From December 15 to 19, four new human cases of H7N9 bird flu were confirmed in Guangdong Province. Jiangxi Province also confirmed a human case of H10N8, a new strain of bird flu, last Wednesday.
