The Dhaka Times Desk More than four and a half hundred people have died in China due to a Sars virus called Novel Corona Virus. About 20,000 more people have been infected with the virus. Bird flu has already spread in the country. After killing pet dogs and cats, horrified Chinese have now started killing thousands of chickens.
China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs gave this information. Bird flu caused by H5N1 virus has appeared in a poultry farm in Shuangqing District, Hunan Province. About 17 thousand 828 chickens have been killed in that province due to the fear of the flu spreading from birds to humans.
This Hunan province is located on the southern border of Hubei province, the source of the corona virus. The local administration of the province has carried out this killing process to deal with the situation. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, one farm had 7,850 chickens. Out of this, after 4500 chickens died due to flu, the administration started killing the chickens in that area.
However, the ministry has informed that no human infection (human H5N1 virus) has been reported so far. The Chinese government has already asked the world for help in dealing with the corona virus. At this time, experts believe that the news of bird flu infection has put China in more danger.
Avian influenza is known to be caused by the H5N1 virus. It is better known as bird flu. In 2015, one person died from this virus in Sichuan Province, China. However, it is considered to be somewhat weaker than other deadly viruses.
The virus has been reported to be spreading not only in China but also in India. On January 29, it was reported by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) that 5,634 out of 21,600 chickens died of bird flu in a poultry farm in Chhattisgarh. Later the rest of the chickens were killed.
Meanwhile, a new fear has arisen among the Chinese about the global spread of the Corona virus from Wuhan, Hubei province. Chinese people are throwing their pets off high-rise buildings after a rumor spread that the virus was being transmitted from animals to humans. Pet dogs and cats were also seen dying all over the country.
The British daily Sun published a report on this. It is said that the whole of China is now in a great crisis. Not only in Hubei, but in addition to China, this virus has spread to more than twenty countries around the world. But there are some pictures from China that are really shocking. Bloody corpses of dogs and cats are seen lying on the streets of different cities of the country.
The pictorial report published last Sunday said that a pet dog was found dead on the street of a residential area in the city of Tianjin in China's Hubei Province, the origin of the coronavirus. Someone threw the pet from the high-rise building. Whose whole body is bloody.
Another big city in China is Shanghai. There have been several such incidents in that city as well. 5 pet cats were found lying dead together in a city street. Due to the fear of coronavirus, people are throwing their beloved pets on the streets to get them out of the house.
A China Global Television Network aired a note from the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness of rumors that humans are also being infected with the coronavirus through pets. It reads, 'There is no evidence so far that other domestic animals such as dogs and cats have been infected with the novel coronavirus.'
