French travellers may have virus
The three people visited a bird park in Thailand during their trip and had close contacts with birds, said Helene Monard, a French Health Ministry spokeswoman.
La Reunion authorities said a 43-year-old man was admitted to hospital with a fever and strong headaches on Saturday, three days after spending a week in Thailand.
Nineteen others who also took the same trip were questioned about their health. Two of them had flu symptoms and Monard said preliminary tests also were positive for H5N1.
