H7N9 Bird Flu Cases Reach 24, Deaths At 7 In China; Chicken’s Off Menus
Three new cases of the deadly bird flu H7N9 were found in China yesterday, increasing the total in the country to 24, the government’s Xinhua news agency reported. Seven people have died from the disease, an increase of one from Sunday.
The latest death was a 64-year-old retired man in Shanghai, which has been the city hardest-hit by the disease so far with 11 cases and five deaths, the state-run Shanghai Daily reported today.
Some airlines and schools in the country have been removing chicken from their menus. The Shanghai Education Commission has asked primary schools to stop offering chicken, the newspaper said. Taiwan’s China Airlines has “enhanced sanitation and disinfection measures in cabins,” it also noted.
