KUALA LUMPUR: As avian influenza (AI) poses a real concern if the virus spreads from an infected bird to human, the Health Ministry is carrying out a national Avian Influenza field simulation training from Aug 5 to 7.

Its director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said this was to prepare the country in the eventuality of the virus spreading to Malaysia.

Currently, no AI cases have been reported in Malaysia, but to ensure that the country is ready in the event it occurs, a national simulation training is carried out every year. Since 2011, simulation training had been carried out in six states and the current one was being held in Pekan and Jerantut districts in Pahang, said Dr Noor Hisham.
