MOSCOW, October 21 (RIA Novosti) - The bird flu outbreak in the Tula region has been localized, and the Moscow region is not in danger, a department head for the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Oversight said Friday.
The potential human threat of the virus has not been proven, "although it [the virus] has been discovered in people's bodies," Ivan Rozhdestvensky said.
He said sanitary restrictions would remain in force throughout the region for a month. He advised people to wash their hands and exclude contacts between wildfowl and domestic fowl.
