"India is prepared for any kind of exigency that may emerge from the current situation," the Union ministry said in a release.
The Health Ministry said it is closely monitoring outbreaks of H9N2 (Avian influenza virus) cases and clusters of respiratory illness in children in northern China, adding that there is a low risk to India from both the avian influenza cases reported from China as well as the clusters of respiratory illness.
"India is prepared for any kind of exigency that may emerge from the current situation," the Union ministry said in a release.
"The usual causes of respiratory illness in children have been implicated and there has been no identification of an unusual pathogen or any unexpected clinical manifestations," the ministry said.
