South Korea has confirmed its first outbreak of Bird Flu in more than two years, as authorities slaughtered more than one lakh birds in a bid to contain the lethal virus. The Agricultural Ministry said two poultry farms, one in the central city of Cheonan and the other in the southwestern city of Iksan, were confirmed to have been contaminated by the H5N1 virus. Both farms have been placed under quarantine, with movements of vehicles and people restricted. Health authorities have stepped up inspections on wild birds and urged poultry businesses to take extra precautions such as erecting nets around their farms to keep out wild birds. A man died on Thursday from swine flu, becoming the country's first reported human death from the virus this winter.
