Taiwan CDC Reacts to China #H5N1 #Birdflu Death

Excerpt:

In Taiwan, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) yesterday said it notified the Council of Agriculture and the Coast Guard Administration to be on alert.

The CDC said it plans to conduct fever examinations for travelers at airports and seaports, as well as question travelers about their contact with birds.

It also called on Taiwanese businesspeople in Guangdong Province, as well as travelers heading to the area, to be mindful of personal sanitation.

It added that constant hand washing and avoiding picking up or coming into contact with birds would lower the chance of catching the H5N1 virus.
