As three Asian nations ban the imports of poultry from the USA, China has new cases of bird flu.
Hong Kong has banned the import of live birds and poultry from the Delaware (USA) region only.
Chinese state television said the bird flu cases were confirmed in Hubei, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hunan, Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces. Suspected cases also were found in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions.
All those areas have had quarantine control measures implemented. The Chinese authorities said there have been no human cases in these areas (humans catching bird flu).
12,000 chickens have been slaughtered in Delaware after some chickens were found to have bird flu (a milder virus strain than in Asia).
The Delaware chicken industry is a huge employer of workers.
