Macau finds H7 bird flu virus to suspend live poultry trade

The Civil Affairs Department of the Macao SAR Government and the Health Bureau jointly held a joint press conference on the evening of the 13th, informing them that the H7 subtype bird flu virus was found in a batch of live bird samples collected on the day and the birds did not enter the retail market. The SAR government will suspend the live poultry trade for at least 3 days and adopt preventive measures such as market elimination and live poultry culling.

It is reported that the IACM immediately blocked the wholesale live poultry market after detecting a H7 subtype bird flu virus in a sample of imported black bone chickens from the Mainland, and will treat approximately 6,300 chickens and 500 chickens currently in the wholesale market. Silkies and 3,000 white doves were culled. According to the “Contingency Plan for Bird Flu Outbreak” of the Macao SAR, relevant suppliers of the sample will suspend supply and conduct virus source investigations until both parties in Macau and the Mainland authorities confirm that they can supply.

In addition, Macao will stop the sale of live poultry for at least 3 days. The live poultry market in each market will undergo comprehensive cleaning and disinfection. The SAR Government Health Bureau will also monitor the health status of employees in the poultry wholesale market.

The Health Bureau said that after an epidemiological survey, a Mainland cargo driver and a local live poultry wholesaler have been identified as contacts. The freight driver returned to the Mainland before he discovered the bird flu virus, and the health bureau had informed the relevant mainland authorities. The local wholesalers have been sent to the hospital to be tested for the H7N9 bird flu virus, pending further confirmation of the results.

This is the third time that this year Macau has discovered the bird flu virus in the market. On February 3 and June 22, 2016, the H7 subtype bird flu virus was detected in the live poultry market in Macau respectively. Both of them adopted measures to stop the sale of live birds and cull live poultry in the market.
