Vietnam faces bird flu outbreak
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development's Animal Health Department has declared the recurrence of bird flu in the central Quang Tri Province after thousands of poultry were allegedly suffering from the flu.
In northern Phu Tho Province, nearly 1,500 poultry in Ha Hoa District's Chinh Cong Commune died of the flu。
Local authorities culled the affected poultry, sprayed chemicals and set up three quarantine booths to minimise the disease's spread.
