China News Agency, Kathmandu, January 10, New Delhi: Local media quoted the Indian central government on the 10th, saying that with the emergence of bird flu cases in Uttar Pradesh, this round of the epidemic has spread to 7 states.

　　Specifically, Kerala, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh have all reported cases of bird flu.

　　"India Today" reported on the same day that in response to bird flu, Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal has announced that in the next 10 days, the transportation of live poultry from other places to the Delhi area is prohibited.

At the same time, the largest local poultry market in Gazipur was closed.

"Although bird flu has not yet appeared in Delhi, we have sent relevant personnel to the bird market, wild animal market, and aquatic product market for inspections," he said.

　　New Delhi TV reported that in the past three days, 24 crows died in a park in southern Delhi; 10 ducks died in the famous Sanjay Lake in Delhi.

Whether they died of bird flu still needs further testing.

　　Due to the occurrence of bird flu in the surrounding areas, Punjab has also raised the level of response: before January 15th, it is forbidden to transport live poultry from outside to this area.

Avian influenza has appeared in 13 areas in Madhya Pradesh, and 1,100 wild birds such as crows have died.

　　The Indian Livestock Management Department has written to the relevant departments of the states and the federal government, asking them to closely monitor the avian influenza situation and maintain communication with health officials, paying particular attention to monitoring whether the avian influenza virus will spread to humans.

At the same time, we must deal with all kinds of rumors that plague poultry consumers and raise public awareness of safe consumption of poultry.

　　Previously, the research department detected H5N1 avian influenza virus in samples of dead migratory birds in the Himachal Pradesh Lake area, and H5N8 avian influenza virus in samples of dead poultry in Kerala and other places.
