China monitors 23 people near bird flu outbreak

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BEIJING, Jan 29 (Reuters) - China has placed 23 people who had contact with bird flu-infected ducks in the southern region of Guangxi under close medical observation, the semi-official China News Service said on Thursday.

Up to Wednesday, no infections had been discovered among them, it said. China has confirmed that ducks on a farm in Guangxi, which borders Vietnam, have the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu, which has killed at least eight people in Southeast Asia.

Officials in Hubei and Hunan provinces were investigating bird deaths for possible bird flu and carrying out culls.
