Via the Hong Kong government website, a reported dated October 28: Bird flu outbreak drill held. Excerpt:
The Agriculture, Fisheries & Conservation Department conducted a field simulation exercise today to review its preparedness for an avian influenza outbreak.
The exercise saw 100 staff familiarise themselves with work procedures and biosecurity measures for conducting the operation and identify areas for response improvement.
It focused on the overall on-site preparation and implementation of biosecurity measures, such as putting on and removing protective gear, as well as the disinfection and disposal of carcasses.
Hong Kong is of course where H5N1 first infected and killed humans in 1997, and the medical authorities take it very seriously.
