The province’s Bureau of Health says that a 51 year-old woman in Huizhou City tested positive to the strain of avian influenza in initial tests. Thirty-six people who had close contact with her have been put under medical observation.
None have displayed any symptoms so far. The Chinese mainland has reported over 130 human cases of H7N9 since February, 43 of which were fatal.
