  • China - Bus Travelers in Guangzhou Need Medical Certificate Due to "Recent Prevalence of Avian Influenza" - Guangdong province

    Evidently the East Railway Bus Station Terminal has stopped selling tickets due to the prevalence of avian influenza. People must undergo a medical exam and obtain a health certificate. Apparently there are some tricksters selling fake certificates.

    I have no idea if "recent prevalence of avian influenza" refers to human to human transmission or large outbreaks of H5N1 poultry that are infecting humans. ???

    This is a major regional news source. I think the above report is very credible. The article focus is the fraud being committed on travelers but obviously a slip was made in mentioning avian influenza as the cause for the need of a medical certificate to travel.
