Le 25 avril 2013, Le CDC de Taiwan annonce qu’un premier cas de grippe aviaire (H7N9) concerne un homme de Taiwan (53 ans).

Selon le Centre de Contrôle des Maladies de Taiwan (Centers for Disease Control , R.O.C. – Taiwan), trois membres de l’équipe médicale présentent une infection du tractus respiratoire supérieur après avoir soigné ce premier patient. Ils ont porté les habits de protection.

Ils le rapportent ainsi :

D’autre part, tout en prodiguant leurs soins, trois membres du personnel médical portant les habits de protection adaptés ont développé des symptômes d’infection du tractus respiratoire supérieur. L’autorité de santé publique a procédé à des formations sanitaires pour tous les gens en contact, leur a fourni une brochure de “Recommandations de surveillance personnelle contre la grippe à H7N9” (“Self-Health Management Advice for H7N9 Influenza”) et va les suivre étroitement jusqu’à ce que la période de recherche par contacts volontaires soit terminée.

Ils suggèrent aussi un risque d’infection à partir du contact direct avec les déjections des oiseaux :

“prendre des mesures préventives telles qu’éviter tout contact direct avec les volailles, les oiseaux ou leurs excréments”

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
