At the moment Switzerland's goal is protecting its poultry from bird flu.

Our goal was that poultry would not get infected by bird flu and we were successful in this.

Bird flu isn't over in Switzerland. We are not finding cases any more but on the other hand we can be quite sure that the bird flu virus will remain in the wild bird population in Switzerland for years to come ? our guess is about five-20 years.

It's not a surprise. It shows that China like other countries that have bird flu in poultry can have human cases.

We don't think anyone should be restricting exports of poultry because poultry is perfectly safe. There is no bird flu on poultry farms in Europe except on one turkey farm in France, where all the birds have been slaughtered.

It is a suspected case, the diagnosis of bird flu is not confirmed for the moment.
