Morocco intensifies precautions against bird flu
RABAT, Oct. 18 (Xinhuanet) Morocco is intensifying precautions against bird flu although the North African country has found no case of the deadly disease, the Moroccan Agriculture Ministry said.
According to a report released by the ministry on Monday, Morocco decided to step up precautionary measures in case of the spreading of the disease in Europe.
