Chinese and American Red Cross societies launched a campaign
Thursday, March 23
The Chinese and American Red Cross societies launched a campaign to blanket China with millions of posters to teach the public to avoid bird flu, as health experts warned of new virus risks when migrating birds return from their winter homes. Brightly colored posters and pamphlets with cartoons showing people washing their hands and reporting sick birds are to be given out in markets, bus stations and other public places. The $150,000 publicity campaign was announced at the start of a two-day bird-flu conference in Beijing.
