More than 30% of the market in Guangzhou detected the H7N9 virus City CDC called on the public to stay away from live poultry
The Guangzhou Early Warning and Distribution Center issued information on the prevention and control of bird flu infections yesterday. It pointed out that recent cases in Guangzhou have contact with live birds, and urged the public to avoid contact with live birds. The latest monitoring shows that more than 30% of the markets in Guangzhou have varying degrees of H7N9 bird flu virus contamination. Experts analyzed that after the holiday season, a large number of provincial personnel returned to Guangzhou. During the Lantern Festival, poultry consumption will be significantly higher than the Spring Festival, and the risk of crowd exposure will further increase.
Due to the need to prevent and control bird flu, Guangzhou City had previously decided that the city's poultry wholesale market and agricultural trade meat market should be closed for three consecutive days from January 16 to March 18. The Guangzhou Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention has assessed the effect of the market closure of the poultry market on January 16-18. The results show that the three-day suspension measures can clean up more than 60% of the influenza virus in the poultry market environment.
“But at the same time, we also saw that after the market was re-entered, live birds entered the environment and the bird flu virus in the environment began to become active. As a whole, the pollution level before the rest of the market was restored about one week after the resumption of the market.†Disease Prevention and Control of Guangzhou City Zhang Zhoubin, deputy director of the Center, introduced that since the beginning of winter last year, people in Guangzhou reported that 100% of cases of H7N9 infection had contact with live poultry or visits to the live poultry market before the onset of the disease. H7N9 bird flu virus was also detected in the market. (Reporter Wu Yan)
