Hospital to provide bird flu rooms

BENGKULU: As part of efforts to prevent bird flu fatalities,
Mohammad Yunus Hospital has provided nine rooms to house patients
with symptoms of the virus or other communicable diseases. Some
rooms are being used for patients infected with respiratory
related diseases, said Syarifudin, the hospital's president
director.

So far, there have not been any known cases of Bengkulu
residents contracting bird flu. "However, we'd better prepare for
the worst," said Syarifudin. -- Antara
