Boy, 16, gets bird flu as infection risk rises
Bird flu has killed two people in China this year and authorities warn the risk of infection may go up during the Lunar New Year as families gather for traditional meals that often include poultry.
The teenager, a student surnamed Wu, fell ill in his hometown in Guizhou province in the country’s south-west on January 8 and was in a critical condition, the ministry said on its website.
