Thanks to Avian Flu Diary for the tipoff for this story. I went to Diario La República and found this report: Autoridades peruanas descartan alerta de epidemia por muertes en barco chino. Translation: Peruvian authorities drop epidemic alert over deaths in Chinese ship. Excerpt, with my translation from Spanish:
Peru's ministry of health has denied the news that it had issued an epidemic alert in the port of Callao after two Chinese citizens had died on a fishing boat.
The chief of the General Board of Epidemilogy of the ministry, Gladys Ramirez, said that she has ordered that the boat remain in quarantine as a preventive measure, according to a news release.
She also said that examinations of the crew show that the 22 crew members are in good health, "without fever and without danger signs."
Ramirez said that the ministry has conducted the sanitary inspection and has taken "all relevant measures" in accordance with national and international health standards to protect the public.
According to this information, the 22 crew had been isolated on the high seas, and 30 Peruvians on land had also been isolated, including Marines and healthcare workers who had boarded the ship after it reported the deaths of the cook and a fisher on April 9.
The health ministry also said that "a strange mutant adenovirus was the cause of the agonizing deaths of the two Chinese crew members of the fishing boat Chan An 168, who died on April 9 off the coast of the port of Callao."
Well, it's not H5N1, but it's interesting to see the response of the health authorities in a strange case.
