It's better to pay attention in an emergency.

Don't touch live poultry, let alone dead poultry.

It is generally safe to eat when cooked, but it is not safe for some black-hearted businessmen to sell sick birds.

In response to the public's desire and fear for chickens, ducks and other poultry after the h7n9 cases were reported in Shanghai and other places, experts from the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that avian influenza virus is generally sensitive to heat, and it can be inactivated by heating at 65℃ for 30 minutes or boiling for more than 2 minutes. Therefore, thoroughly cooked poultry and pork are edible. However, avian influenza has a strong resistance to low temperature, and it can survive 1 month in water at 4℃, so half-cooked or half-cooked chicken chops and pork rinse in hot pot should be carefully eaten.

At present, people engaged in poultry breeding, selling, slaughtering and processing, and people who have been in contact with poultry before 1 week of suspected diseases need to pay more attention to prevention than ordinary people. If such people have fever, cough and other symptoms, please seek medical advice in time and inform the doctor of their activities before the onset.
