New cases in Vietnam
June 7th, 2007
A new case of bird flu has been reported at a duck farm located in northern Vietnam last week. This brings the number of provinces and cities infected with the dangerous H5N1 virus to 16, according to a government statement on Thursday.
A total of 240 were found dead in Viet Tri City, during the first four days of June alone. Medical staff have been culling the rest of the 130 birds in the location, as test results confirmed that H5N1 virus was present in the dead ducks.
