Hong Kong confirms first human case of H7N9 bird flu
- 9 years ago
Hong Kong confirmed its first case of deadly H7N9 bird flu on Monday.
A 36-year-old Indonesian domestic helper with a history of contact with poultry and travel to the neighboring mainland Chinese city of Shenzhen has been confirmed infected by H7N9 and has been hospitalized in critical condition.
Hong Kong is now on public health alert and has suspended the import of live chickens from some farms across the border with the mainland.
The case in Hong Kong is a sign that the virus may be spreading beyond mainland China, where most infections have been reported, and Taiwan.
