HONG Kong authorities closed a popular bird sanctuary to the public for three weeks yesterday after a dead bird discovered there tested positive for avian flu.
The closure of Mai Po Nature Reserve comes amid a recent outbreak of bird flu in Hong Kong. Authorities are trying to determine whether infected dead birds found in the territory were linked to Chinese mainland, where five people have died from a virulent strain of the virus this year.
