 HONG KONG (AP) - Scientists have confirmed that no new flu strain has emerged in Hong Kong's recent flu outbreak, the government said Friday.
Scientists have completed gene sequencing on the flu viruses from two children who died amid the recent outbreak and found that their genetic makeup matches that of flu strains that are already circulating, a government statement said.
"These results confirm that the two children did not die from a new virus that is more virulent than the circulating strains in the region," the statement said.
