Canadian traveler infected with bird flu virus

By Shan Juan | China Daily | Updated: 2015-01-29 07:58

The World Health Organization does not advise special screening for people entering Canada from China, nor does it recommend any travel restrictions, after Canadian officials confirmed a case of H7N9 bird flu, the first detected outside China.

Bernhard Schwartlander, the organization's China representative, made the remarks after a Canadian woman in her 50s was diagnosed with H7N9 bird flu after returning from a trip to China. She reported being at several places with chickens.

Canada informed the health organization about the case and urged its citizens traveling to China to avoid contact with poultry and so-called wet markets, which sell and slaughter live poultry.
