Thirteen people have now died from the latest strain of the bird flu.
H7N9 has sickened a confirmed sixty people.
It is also spreading further and further, with four regions now reporting cases.
Officials are greatly concerned by H7N9 as it does not seem to cause
sickness or death in birds, only is carried by them, yet is deadly to
humans, if not caught early enough.
This makes it nearly impossible to detect before humans start becoming sick.
Authorities are trying to avoid a panic, by pointing out that Tamiflu
can be used as a cure, as long as bird flu is caught early enough.
Other countries have begun limiting travel to and from China, while completely banning birds.
