No-go areas planned as bird flu closes in "ONE-MILE exclusion zones are to be set up in Britain to protect human health if a wild bird is found to be infected with the deadly avian flu virus. The emergency measures, also designed to protect poultry from infection by wild birds, recall the spectre of the foot-and-mouth outbreak of five years ago. They were announced yesterday, as the H5N1 strain continued to spread westwards." (excerpt) http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-2042749,00.html |
