Four more people in Jiangsu are in critical condition following the recently reported outbreak of the H7N9 bird flu virus, according to the Health Department of Jiangsu Province.
One of the people infected, a 45-year-old woman named Xu from Nanjing, reportedly worked as a poultry butcher at a local market. The other three, a 48-year-old woman named Sang, an 83-year-old man named Shen, and a 32-year-old woman named Zhang, are from Suqian, Suzhou, and Changzhou respectively. Sang, the only one of the three who had a job, worked in plate production.
