According to health officials, there is no evidence of bird flu spreading between people who are traveling on airplanes.
The latest victim of bird flu in Canada died after traveling to Beijing. The publi8c health agency has said that its usual advice to travelers is to avoid contact with chickens, wild birds and even surfaces that have bird droppings. Also poultry meat and eggs should be well cooked.
Antiviral drugs can however reduce the severity of the illness, if it is taken early enough. However the US centers for disease control has said that H5N1 cannot be just diagnosed with a few symptoms alone. It can be easily diagnosed by collecting swab from the nose or throat in the early days of illness.
