BEKASI Hundreds of fowl that belonged to the villagers of Kayuringin, in the district of Bekasi in western Java, were destructed earlier today after dozens of fowl were found to be infected with the H5N1 variant of the bird flu virus. The virus caused one person from the village to fall ill earlier. That person died late yesterday in the Persahabatan Hospital in nearby Jakarta.

Since this morning, villagers from the sub-district of Kayuringin flock to the location for destruction of fowl in the neighborhood RT 5/RW 1 to destruct their fowl. The fowl is collected by government employees who kill it, cut it and burn it in a hole that has been prepared for this purpose. To stop the bird flu virus from spreading further, government employees have also decontaminated the neighborhood around the house of the person that died earlier.
