Avian Flu Outbreak Won?t Fly The Coop, Government Says

Jakarta. Health officials on Sunday sought to reassure the public that bird flu was under control despite recent reports that tens of thousands of poultry had died from the disease.

?There are only very few provinces in Indonesia that remain bird-flu free, but the number of cases among humans is decreasing significantly,? Tjandra Yoga Aditama, the Ministry of Health?s director general for disease control, told the Jakarta Globe.

Over the past four months, avian flu has killed 49,000 chickens and ducks in South Sulawesi.
