Hong Kong suspended live chicken imports from Shenzhen after authorities confirmed the first local case of the deadly H7N9 virus in a human on Monday. A 36-year-old Indonesian domestic helper who has caught the virus last month visited Shenzhen, where she is believed to have slaughtered and cooked a live chicken. On Monday night the city announced a ban on supplies from three Shenzhen farms. [Photo: China News Service / Sha shaokui]
