Two people in China have died from avian flu, China’s official news agency has reported.
The two men, aged 87 and 27, died in Shanghai after contracting the #H7N9 strain of avian influenza, which had previously never been passed on to humans.
The men became sick in late February and died in early March, the Xinhua News Agency said.
The agency says a 35 year-old woman in nearby Anhui province has also contracted the deadly virus and is in a critical condition.
Apparemment, pas trop contagieuse car non transmise aux proches des victimes…
It is not known how the victims became infected, although the NHFPC says H7N9 does not seem highly contagious as no health concerns were detected among the victims’ 88 closest contacts.
