Lau Si Io, president of Macao's Civic and Municipal Affairs
Bureau (CMAB), has said that there was "no need" to upgrade
anti-bird flu measures, local media reported Friday.
The official told the Macao Post Daily that however,
the Macao concerned authorities are to pay close attention to the
bird flu situation and to maintain tight contact with the Chinese
mainland health agencies.
Lau said the CMAB has registered 140 dead bird reports since
last October and none of the cases tested positive for the avian
flu up to now.
He said the daily inspections on the migratory birds and the
poultry slaughtering will be continued.
