National exercise prepares for bird flu (Australia - test run!)

National exercise prepares for bird flu

Australia's preparedness for a bird flu outbreak will be tested in a national exercise later this year.

Agriculture Minister Warren Truss and Health Minister Tony Abbott announced that Exercise Eleusis will involve a hypothetical scenario (we hope) to test how well agriculture and health departments can work together to identify, contain and eradicate an animal disease which can be transferred to humans.

The scenario will be played out between November 29 and December 1.
