THE World Health Organization says there is no sign of "sustained human-to-human transmission" of the H7N9 virus in China, but it is important to check on people who have been in close contact with confirmed cases.
Spokesman Gregory Hartl told reporters it was important to follow up all contacts to determine if they had the virus and, if so, where they got it.
"It is really a severe illness but cases are being well handled and put into intensive care units. There doesn't seem to be any indication of infections in hospital so far," Hartl said.
