The country should be able to prevent the spread of bird flu, the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) said yesterday.
A large-scale outbreak of avian flu won't take place in the near future, despite some areas being very vulnerable, the MOA said in a statement.
The ministry has tightened measures after the deadly H5N1 virus killed a 19-year-old woman in Beijing on Monday.
