Egypt is taking more preventive measures to combat bird flu


A new draft law will prohibit the trade and transport of live poultry among the governorates, reports Reem Leila


New sites infected with bird flu were discovered on Saturday in the governorates of Sharqiya, Qena and Qalioubiya. "Samples taken from the areas tested positive for bird flu," said Mona Mehrez, head of the Central Laboratory for Poultry Monitoring at the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation. Nearly 137,000 fowl in Sharqiya were culled, with a similar number culled in Qena and Qalioubiya.

The government is tightening up restrictions to prevent and limit the spread of the Avian Flu virus. Last week, the Shura Council approved a draft law which would prevent the trade and transport of live poultry among the governorates. The draft had been presented to the People's Assembly for debate, and is expected to be passed within the next few weeks. It was based upon a suggestion made by President Hosni Mubarak to contain the virus which has killed 14 people in Egypt so far.

Saleh El-Shemi, head of the Shura Council's health committee, says the draft will make the moving or selling of live birds or poultry illegal, as will offering them for sale in governorates and cities. According to the draft, by 2009 no live poultry will be available to the public. "People must learn to eat frozen chicken for their own health," El-Shemi said.
