The province will spend part of its budge purchasing Cloramin B, protective clothes and Taminflu to deal with the epidemic.
Recently, the provincial health sector has opened H7N9 prevention training courses for about 200 health workers and carried out preventive plans for the new strain of avian influenza.
Tran Van Quang, Head of the provincial Veterinary Department, said all 74 samples of swallows (salanganes) collected from the province’s localities have been tested negative for the avian flu virus.
However, he warned of a high risk for the outbreaks as most swallows raised in 130 local establishments are wild species.
