Some quick action:
"The Chinese city of Shanghai is temporarily closing its poultry markets due to the H7N9 bird flu outbreak, officials say. A spokesman for the city authorities said the decision was taken on grounds of public safety. The city has already begun a mass slaughter of poultry after the virus was discovered in pigeons at a market." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-22037833 Will it be enough to stop this? |
