8/3/2006 13:49

Two more areas in east Romania have been found with bird flu cases in poultry, Rompress reported on Tuesday.
Local health authorities have confirmed that the dead domestic birds in Hirsova Town and Seimenii Mici Village in eastern Romania's Constanta County had the H5 bird flu strain.
The county government has put the two areas under quarantine, and had all the poultry there culled and local residents vaccinated, the report added.
Bird flu has hit about 40 locations and a small Black Sea resort in Romania since the disease was first detected in the Danube Delta in October last year. But no human case has been discovered so far in the country.
