This advice has been reviewed and reissued with an amendment to the Summary and Health section (Avian Influenza – Bird Flu). The overall level of the advice has not changed.
On 9 December 08, the Hong Kong SAR Government confirmed that Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) had been detected on a poultry farm in the New Territories. No human infections or deaths have been reported. The World Health Organisation (see WHO - Public Health Mapping and GIS Map Library) has confirmed human cases elsewhere in the region and there have been some human fatalities in China. If you plan to visit China please also view the latest China Travel Advice.
We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for all the activities you want to undertake. See the General (Insurance) section of this advice and Travel Insurance for more details.
