Learning from "Bird Flu": How the Hong Kong Government Learnt to Deal with a Crisis
內容大綱
Hong Kong's first avian flu crisis started in March 1997, when close to 7,000 chickens on three rural farms were wiped out by an H5 strain. To contain the outbreak, the Hong Kong government ordered a mass slaughter of all poultry. Altogether, the first outbreak led to 18 confirmed H5N1 cases in humans, resulting in 6 deaths. The decision to slaughter the chickens was controversial at the time. Poor coordination and inefficiency characterized the first cull and damaged the Hong Kong government's credibility. The crisis put pressure on the chief executive, Mr. Tung Chee-wah, to find new solutions to curb the avian flu. Against the background of the first bird flu crisis, the Environment and Food Bureau and the Hong Kong government faced repeated bird flu outbreaks in May 2001 and February 2002. With the recurrence of the avian flu, there was an opportunity for the Hong Kong government to show the public how it learned to manage the continuing crises.
