24/2/2004 18:22
Efforts to guard Shanghai against bird flu are paid, yet the city
should take long-term measures to guarantee food healthy and safety, Shanghai
mayor Han Zhen proposed in a government work meeting yesterday.
The city
has mobilized all parts to take anti-bird flu actions, and got cooperation from
the farmers and all citizens, Han said. Thanks to these efforts and cooperation,
the virus is under control currently.
So far, only one bird flu case was
discovered in the city¡¯s Nanhui District. An inspection team announced yesterday
that the virus hasn't infected any people in Shanghai, and no new cases have
been reported since Kangqiao, the only bird flu-broken area in Shanghai, was
quarantined.
For the next phase, Shanghai government sets to properly
plan and relocate the poultry farms and control the scale of breeding to keep
the city safe from bird flu, Han added. Moreover, mature laws and regulations,
strict farming standard and market supervisions are necessary to maintain food
safety.
