He had close contact with 71 people, but none has shown symptoms of the disease. The virus is commonly found in birds, but can jump to humans.
The victim of Guiyan is the second to be recorded in China by the virus in less than a month after a bus driver Guangdong died on December 31. This was the first in the country died from the disease in one and a half. 28 people have died in China by the virus since 2003, compared to 336 in the world.
Most human cases result from contact with infected birds as the virus does not spread easily between people. The WHO says it has never identified a "continuous spread from human to human" virus since it resurfaced in 2003. But according to Chinese authorities, the victim had not been exposed Guiyan clearly to any bird before having symptoms. Neither had been the driver of Guangdong in the month prior to falling ill. Vietnam on Thursday reported its first death from bird flu in almost two years. In Cambodia, has recently died a small boy, and Indonesia said Friday that a baby had died five years, who had recently lost a relative to the virus.
