Suspected bird flu quarantines South Korean farm

A quarantine zone has been established around a duck farm in South Korea after it reported a suspected case of bird flu.

The farm is in Cheonan, about 90 kilometres south of Seoul.

The agriculture ministry says the ducks showed symptoms of avian influenza

Health officials are testing samples from ducks at the farm, according to the ministry.

South Korea declared itself free of bird flu in August 2008 after the country suffered its worst outbreak of the disease with nearly 8 and a half million birds culled.
