According to the commission, the infection was confirmed in a 4-year-old resident of the city of Zhumadian in the central province of Henan.
It is noted that the infection occurred as a result of contact with poultry on April 5.
According to the preliminary assessment of the commission, this strain does not yet have the ability to effectively infect people, so the risk of an epidemic is low.
Earlier, an outbreak of bird flu occurred at a poultry farm in the Japanese city of Shiraoi.
