China is currently the epicenter of an outbreak of the new 2019-nCov virus.
China's Animal Epidemic Prevention and Control Center alerted the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs to an avian flu outbreak on Saturday, according to the statement. The National Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory later confirmed the bug as H5N1, which had sickened chickens bred by a farmer inDistrict. The farmer kept a total of 7,850, with 4,500 having died. Local authorities subsequently culled 17,828 chickens in the city, the ministry said.
In rare cases, the WHO states, H5N1 can spread to humans, but transmission between people is unlikely. Most people who catch this type of flu have close contact with infected birds or contaminated areas. But there remain wider fears that the virus which has a high death rate could mutate in a way that would make human-to-human transmission easier."The consequences for public health could be very serious," the WHO said.
