WASHINGTON -- President Bush signed an executive order Friday authorizing

the government to impose a quarantine to deal with any outbreak of a

particularly lethal variation of influenza now found in Southeast Asia.

The order is intended to deal with a type of influenza commonly referred to

as bird flu. Since January 2004, an estimated 69 people, primarily in

Vietnam, have contracted the disease. The fatality rate among those reported

to have the disease is about 70 percent. But Dr. Keiji Fukuda said he

suspects there are more cases.

Bush Order Allows Isolation of Those With Bird Flu

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush issued a directive on

Friday allowing authorities to detain or isolate any passenger suspected of

having avian flu when arriving in the United States aboard an international

flight.

The H5N1 bird flu virus has killed 49 people in Asia since 2003, 35 in

Vietnam, 12 in Thailand and 2 Cambodians, while millions of birds have been

slaughtered to contain the disease.

Even so, the World Health Organization has said it had seen no evidence so

far to suggest the bird flu virus was changing into a form that could be

easily transmitted from one human to another.

White House spokesman Trent Duffy called the directive a precautionary

measure.

" There's no evidence of any risk of avian flu to the American people at this

time. But in an abundance of caution, this is a pragmatic step to ensure the

government has the authority it needs to protect the American people as best

it can, " Duffy said.

The Bush order added pandemic influenza to the list of diseases for which

quarantine is authorized. Pandemic flu is considered a novel or re-emergent

strain to which there is little or no population immunity.

Under the directive, the Health and Human Services Department is given legal

authority to detain or isolate any passenger suspected of having the avian

flu to prevent the person from infecting others.

Quarantine and isolation were last used during the outbreak of SARS in 2003.
