A four-year-old girl and her mother have been put in isolation in Prince Margaret Hospital after coming into contact with a Shenzhen man who has caught the H7N9 bird flu virus.

The Centre for Health Protection says the girl has shown no symptoms but her mother developed a sore throat earlier this week.

They had recently been in contact with a 31-year-old man in Shenzhen who is said to be in a stable condition with the virus.
