Border checks on poultry and poultry products are being stepped up after Vietnam reported that bird flu had been diagnosed in a human patient last week.
Livestock deparment acting director-general Chaiwat Yotakon said on Monday all live birds and meat imported from countries where there is avian flu would be strictly inspected. All poultry farms and raisers of free-roaming ducks along the border would be randomly checked for the virus.
