Cairo zoo closes after bird flu reaches Egypt

February 19, 2006, 16:30

Egyptian authorities closed Cairo zoo and seven other state-run zoos around the country for two weeks from today to prevent the spread of bird flu after cases of the H5N1 virus were detected on Thursday. Cairo zoo manager Talaat Sidraus said that zoo workers has immediately started disinfecting bird cages.

Witnesses saw dead and sick birds inside the zoo grounds today but it was not immediately clear if they had bird flu. Large flocks of egrets and other wild birds live in the trees in and around the zoo. The authorities have reported cases of bird flu in seven provinces, stretching from Dakahlia in the northeast of the Nile Delta to Qena in the far south. At least 10 000 birds have been culled at a chicken farm north of Cairo.

On Sunday, merchants who normally slaughter and sell live chickens on the street had closed in compliance with a ban. Some remained open but had few customers. The government said it was importing 73 000 packets of Tamiflu, one of the few medicines thought to alleviate the symptoms of the disease when it hits humans.

No human cases have been diagnosed in Egypt. - Reuters

Thanks for the update BB. Thousands of merchants/family stores/road side stands/ etc. will soon get the same order to stop selling. It will probable also include any feathered creature and pigs.
