Because of reports of potential bird flu infections, increased levels of quarintine have been issued in certain parts of South Korea.

In the South Jeolla province, government officials reported that there was a suspected bird flu outbreak. This is the 29th time that there were reported cases of the deadly disease this year in the small Asian country.  One case was confirmed to be H5 type bird flu yesterday.

Increased quarintines in South Korea mean more restrictive travel of humans and birds.  This is the third time there has been a South Korean bird flu outbreak in five years.
