The H7N9-strain of avian flu in China has seen a surge in southern and eastern regions since the start of the new year. Health authorities have warned that the whole nation has entered a high-incidence period for bird flu. This occurs in winter and spring, when there are high risks for human infections.
Dozens of southern and eastern regions in China have raised their response levels from low to high.
In east China's Fujian province, two patients infected with H7N9 died in Fuzhou on Friday, and another patient in Xiamen died on Tuesday.
In total, 15 cases have been confirmed in the province since the beginning of the year,
Health authorities in Xiamen said they were closely monitoring the patients while enhancing measures to control the outbreak.
