More bird flu fears for Bali
A 28-year-old woman suspected of being infected with the bird flu virus died in Bali on Tuesday, a day after being admitted to Sanglah Hospital in Denpasar.
The woman was a chicken seller in Batugaing village in Kediri, Tabanan regency, around 20 kms west of the capital, Denpasar.
The head of the hospital’s bird flu control unit, Putu Andrika, told the Jakarta Post the woman displayed the same symptoms as a 29-year-old woman from Negara, in western Jembrana regency, who died of bird flu last week.
“She came here with pneumonia and high fever and we suspected her of having avian influenza,” he said. “We’re still waiting for the results from Jakarta.”
According to husbandry agency officials in Tabanan, the regency has culled 6,447 birds in the eight districts over the last two months.
The Bali administration has also issued a by-law to control the trade in chickens. Chickens from Java and elsewhere will not be imported into the island for at least one month.
