Airport guards against bird flu

The Rome-Fiumicino international airport has begun implementing precautionary measures involving passengers and merchandise originating from regions affected by bird flu, the airport said on Saturday.

Passengers travelling to the Rome airport from China or Russia may be immediately hospitalised in an infectious diseases clinic if they shows signs of respiratory problems, airport authorities said in a statement.

The new measures also foresee the "destruction by incineration of any poultry-based food found in the luggage of passengers travelling from risk areas," the text said.
