According to
Malay Municipal Health Officer, Dr. Adrian Salaver, there are no precautionary
measures implemented in Boracay Island with regards to H7N9 virus.
He said that
there is no advisory from Department of Health to implement such measures,
since the virus spread through contact with poultry products specifically from
China.
It was
earlier reported that the Department of Agriculture already prohibits importation
of poultry products from the said country.
H7N9 virus
is a new avian influenza A virus that has been detected in poultry in China. Patients with H7N9 suffered from respiratory
illness and some have died.
NO cases of
H7n9 outside of China have been reported and no person-person transmissions
have been detected.
Reason why,
Malaynons and Boracaynons should not worry of those tourists coming from China.
