Bird flu Regulations in Shanghai
The Shanghai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau issued
a series of regulations on February 4 to prevent the spread of bird
flu.
The regulations ban any bird-related goods from areas with reports
of the disease from entering the city. Any packages containing bird
or other animal goods will be inspected before they can enter the
city. If they are found to come from flu-stricken areas, they will
be sent back or destroyed. Other measures include:
1. Any luggage or mail from flu-stricken areas must be inspected
by the bureau related.
2. Birds raised on ships from epidemic-stricken areas will be caged
and not allowed to leave the vessel.
3. All vehicles from epidemic-stricken areas and animal goods from
anywhere outside the city must be sterilized before entering Shanghai.
