It is reported that patients living in the village democracy Baoan manhole, manhole sea idyllic lake and wetland area is the habitat of wild birds, patients usually have the habit of morning exercise in the vicinity.
Jianfeng said that the park more migratory birds, disease control experts suspect that he was a high degree of contact with infected birds droppings. Zhoubo Ping told reporters, often think it would be a clear source of infection of avian influenza virus is direct contact with patients birds and their excrement, "but there are some source of infection is not clear, for example, first appeared in 2006 in Shenzhen bird flu patients no contact with poultry before the onset of, and has yet to find the source of infection. "
But Zhoubo Ping also said that in theory there are bird droppings evaporate into the air to be inhaled and drinking water contaminated bird droppings possibility of infection, but the likelihood is minimal, and the patient's home near the wetland did not find the death of infected a bird.It is not to determine the patient's condition and the Hong Kong outbreak of migratory birds.

Patients as a bus driver, and a large number of passengers per day in the car with a dense public transport, passenger count is the close contact it?
