China on bird flu alert, no human infection found

As previously suspected bird flu cases in two central provinces were confirmed and new suspected cases reported in three other Chinese regions Friday, an increasing number of Chinese localities are taking measures to handle the deadly disease.

President Hu Jintao, on state visit to Egypt, said on Saturday that people's health should be the top priority in the current efforts to prevent and control bird flu, now hitting several provinces in central and south China. 

He said: "We have full confidence in tackling the problem and in preventing the disease from spreading to other areas. We must do our utmost to do a good prevention work and prevent human infection."

Up to early Saturday morning, 1,306,500 poultry within 3 kilometres of the confirmed bird flu-hit area in Wugang City of central China's Hunan Province have been killed and no new suspected or confirmed cases reported in the affected region.

Local quarantine departments also destroyed 22,000 pieces of poultry eggs and sealed up 12.1 tons of poultry eggs. The above poultry and poultry-related products were disinfected and buried deeply underground.

At present, quarantine workers are vaccinating poultry within 5 kilometres of the affected farm and disinfecting the nearby areas including rivers.

In response to the confirmed bird flu cases in Wuxue City of central China's Hubei Province, the provincial capital city of Wuhan has started a comprehensive program to safeguard the city against the highly infectious H5N1 strain of bird flu.

Over 7.3 million poultry in Wuhan have been vaccinated and local poultry farms, poultry marketplaces, supermarkets and slaughterhouses disinfected. The local government also banned purchase of poultry and related products from affected regions and demanded careful recording of poultry deals such as commodity sources and quarantine certificates.

Inspection results of local industry and commerce departments show no suspected bird flu cases have been found in Wuhan and poultry deals remain normal.

China's well-known tourist province of Hainan also launched a high-profile campaign against any possible bird flu outbreaks along its long coastline.

Hainan's pre-emptive measures against bird flu include sending two work teams to neighboring Hai'an City of south China's Guangdong Province and Beihai City of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region to prevent bird flu virus from entering the island province.

In fact, not only regions, where confirmed and suspected bird flu cases have been reported, and nearby localities are highly alert against the disease, regions far away from the bird flu-hit localities also take precautions against the animal-sourced disease.

Recently, Xi'an City of northwest China's Shaanxi Province tightened control and inspection on cargoes, transport vehicles and mails from bird flu-stricken countries and regions.

Xi'an customs also launched a series of new rules and work procedures to protect customs staff from catching the deadly disease at work, according to local sources.

So far, confirmed bird flu cases were found in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and central China's Hunan and Hubei provinces. Shanghai, east China's Anhui Province and south China's Guangdong Province reported suspected outbreaks.

In the Chinese mainland, the highly infectious H5N1 strain of bird flu can only be examined and confirmed by the National Bird Flu Reference Laboratory, based in Harbin, the capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.

All suspected bird flu-infected samples are sent to the laboratory for decisive diagnosis. The lab is responsible for reporting the final results to the Ministry of Agriculture, which is authorized to release the information to the public.

No other mainland-based institutions and departments are capable of diagnosing bird flu or authorized to release relevant information.

New bird flu cases confirmed

China Saturday reported two new suspected bird flu cases in central China's Hubei Province and south China's Guangdong Province, said sources with the Ministry of Agriculture.

The ministry received reports Saturday, saying two suspected bird flu cases have occurred in Ezhou City of Hubei and Chao'an County of Guangdong, following three confirmed cases and three suspected outbreaks on the Chinese mainland.

The local governments forced sweeping slaughter and quarantine measures immediately and sent in related samples to the Harbin-based National Bird Flu Reference Laboratory. The epidemic has been brought under control, said sources with the ministry. No human infections have been found in the two regions.

The ministry has dispatched supervision teams to help the local governments fight against the bird flu epidemic.

The two outbreaks have been reported to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization. Hong Kong and Macao have also been informed of the new epidemic.

The State Administration for Industry and Commerce on Saturday issued a notice, urging the closing of poultry markets and the banning of poultry trade in the bird flu-affected area in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region where the country's first bird flu case was spotted.

The notice requires its subordinate body in Guangxi region to strictly crack down on illegal poultry trade in the bird flu-hit areas and intensify the market patrol at the juncture areas between virus-hit areas and virus-unaffected areas in an effort toprevent and control the bird flu virus from spreading.

The notice also urged the closing of poultry markets whose sanitation conditions are poor in bird flu-unaffected areas.

If any suspected bird flu cases were spotted in markets, they must be reported to local governments and the State Administrationfor Industry and Commerce, said the notice.

National Bird Flu Prevention Headquarters Founded

The State Council on Friday decided to establish the National Bird Flu Prevention Headquarters in an effort to intensify the prevention and control work on bird flu.

Vice-Premier Hui Liangyu was appointed director-general of the headquarters, and State Councilor Hua Jianmin was appointed deputy director-general.

The headquarters consists of the State Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture, State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, State Administration for Industry and Commerce, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Commerce and General Administration of Customs.

The headquarters office was located in the Ministry of Agriculture.
