Hong Kong鈥檚 first case of human bird flu infection
Print Edition
HONG Kong authorities have confirmed the first human bird flu infection for this season after an elderly man who had recently travelled to China’s mainland was diagnosed with the deadly H7N9 virus strain.
The 75-year-old, who visited the mainland this month, is in serious condition, the government said in a statement. Hong Kong has been battling sporadic cases of avian influenza in humans since the first outbreak killed six people there in 1997.
Macau, an hour away from Hong Kong by ferry, culled about 10,000 chickens last week after a poultry market worker fell ill with the H7N9 strain. The city suspended importing poultry from Chinese mainland, but resumed trade last Sunday.
