Bird flu reoccurs in Vietnam
March 2nd, 2007
Just days after a case of bird flu was reported in a person living in the north of the country, the disease has reappeared in a southern province. The confirmation came from the Animal Health Department on Thursday, when it was announced that the latest outbreak was found in Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long. Just two weeks ago, the authorities had declared that all the previous outbreaks spotted there, as well as in seven other provinces in the South had been contained. So far around 800 ducklings were slaughtered and the areas were sterilized.
