H5N1 News: Russia May Close Border with Turkey
Russia's chief sanitary doctor Gennady Onishchenko said Monday that the border with Turkey would have to be closed if bird flu continued to spread in the country. Onishchenko said in comments on the need to temporarily ban travels to Turkey on Ekho Moskvy radio: "If the situation aggravates, we will ban [travels], although in line with World Health Organization requirements." He added that it was premature to resort to the measure.
Onishchenko said Russia had suggested sending experts to Turkey, but the latter had not made any response so far.
