No Extraordinary Measures Against Bird Flu This Year
Coordinating Minister for Social Welfare Aburizal Bakrie said Wednesday the government would not take any extraordinary measures against bird flu this year. Aburizal said the current measures were sufficient to contain the spreading of bird flu in the country. "We have been applauded by international agencies for our measures to handle the bird flu in the country," he said in a press conference. The current measures focused on giving vaccine to chickens and ducks. A-14-year-old boy died in a hospital in Jakarta on Wednesday after being confirmed to be infected with bird flu virus for days. He was the 58th dead victim of bird flu virus in the country.
