China's bird flu outbreak is rapidly getting worse, with officials announcing more suspected outbreaks of the deadly H5N1 virus.
China's Ministry of Agriculture last night reported five new suspected outbreaks of the H5N1 virus, all confined to poultry.
They were announced in provinces and areas in the country's north-west, south-west and centre.
This brings to 11 the number of suspected and confirmed outbreaks in China.
China's official news agency has quoted agriculture officials, saying the epidemic has been brought under control.
The World Health Organisation is worried and says China's small window of opportunity in containing its bird flu outbreaks is growing smaller with each day.
