Officials in the Nile Delta governorate of Menoufeia have declared a state of high alert following the death of an H1N1 patient and the detection of 89 infected areas.


The Nile Delta governorate of Menoufeia announced a state of high alert following the death of an H1N1 patient and the infection of two others on Monday.

Authorities have said they detected 89 highly infected areas with the bird flu. Experts say all infected cases were among home-bred birds and authorities added that the infection spread is being managed by the slaughtering of all infected birds.
