MOSCOW, 
(Sputnik) – The rampant seasonal flu in Hong Kong and 
the recent strain of bird flu detected in poultry could together give rise to a 
deadly new virus, Hong Kong's health minister said Sunday.

“If 
a person contracts two viruses, a gene recombination is likely to happen,” Ko 
Wing-man was quoted as saying by the South China Morning Post, adding that the 
mutation could lead to a more contagious virus.
According 
to the newspaper, Hong Kong has recorded 140 deaths and 241 patients 
in intensive care related to the seasonal influenza outbreaks in the region 
as of Saturday.
