TAIPEI, May 1 (Xinhua) -- The epidemic control authority in Taiwan on
Wednesday stressed that the privacy of people infected with H7N9 bird
flu, and their close contacts should be protected.
The authority
made the remarks in response to the recent media exposure of some
personal information about Taiwan's first H7N9 patient.
The 53-year-old Taiwanese man was confirmed to be infected with the new type of virus a week ago.
He is reported to be still under ICU treatment at the Taiwan University Hospital.
The
authority called on media organizations to prudently deal with the
reporting of this case and not to cause disturbance to the patient and
his family members.
