China Confirms Another Disease Named H10N3

While the world at large is still battling the viral COVID-19 disease, China again has recorded the first human infection of the H10N3 bird flu strain.

This was confirmed in a report on Tuesday morning following the admission of a 41-year-old man to a hospital with fever symptoms in the eastern city of Zhenjiang.

Officials did not give details on how the man got infected but the H10N3 strain is thought to not easily spread from humans to humans.

The Jiangsu province resident, who was diagnosed last week, has now recovered and is ready to be discharged.

We learnt that the index case was confirmed on April 28 and was diagnosed with H10N3 a month later. China’s National Health Commission (NHC), however, revealed in the statement that the “risk of large-scale spread is extremely low.”
