Bac Lieu free of bird flu
-------------------------
Bac Lieu Province People's Committee has announced the end of an
avian flu outbreak that began more than a month ago [February 2009].
The Mekong Delta province's Animal Health Department manager Lam Tri
Thong said everything had returned to normal Saturday [4 Apr 2009].
The epidemic had been located mainly in Vinh Phu Dong Commune, Phuoc
Long District.
However, the province authorities have asked local agencies and
governments to keep a close watch on all farms and continue
vaccinating all flocks of ducks and other fowl in the area. More than
16 000 birds were put to death over the last month, according to the
department.
