A recent study that suggests the H7N9 avian influenza virus may be highly transmissible among humans is not strong enough to lead to any changes in the current H7N9 epidemic intervention strategy.
All areas affected by the H7N9 bird flu have ended emergency responses as of May 28, xinhuanet.com reported.
The WHO's China representative said there are "quite a few" cases in which the many hundreds of people in close contact with H7N9 flu patients fell ill.
Poultry farmers in Beijing will receive subsidies to help them cope with shrinking demand caused by the H7N9 bird flu outbreak, the city's bureau of agriculture said on Friday.
It is prudent to follow basic hygienic practices to prevent infection.
