Preliminary testing on a dead bird found in Mong Kok has indicated a suspected case of H5 avian influenza, the Agriculture, Fisheries & Conservation Department says. More tests are being conducted.

The bird, believed to be a Red-billed Starling, was collected by department staff at 101-109 Boundary Street on May 26.

People are urged to observe good personal hygiene. They should avoid personal contact with wild birds and live poultry and clean their hands thoroughly after coming into contact with them. More health tips are available here.
