Indonesia Announces Two Bird Flu Deaths; Japan Confirms Outbreak
An Indonesian health official announced Saturday the recent deaths of two women from Avian influenza. Two other people died earlier in the week. Meanwhile, Japan confirmed bird flu affected chickens on a farm in the south of the country. VOA's Sean Maroney reports from Washington.
Health officials in Indonesia say two more people have died from bird flu there this week, raising the country's total number of deaths to at least 61.
Both women had received treatment in the same hospital in Indonesia's capital of Jakarta.
Earlier in the week, a 37-year-old woman and teenage boy died from bird flu.
