Bird flu started passing from person to person?

Read it in Russian

An Indonesian family has become infected with mortally dangerous H5N1 virus. According to WHO specialists, it might be caused by their prolonged contact with the first ill person in their family and then with each other.

Six of the seven infected Indonesians died. A group of international experts failed to found birds infected by bird flu in the area of the family’s living, UN WHO states. That is why it is supposed that the H5N1 virus could be transmitted without them. However, it is still impossible to maintain that the virus was transmitted exactly from person to person. Specialists are trying to find alternative way or source of the infection.

The WHO is quoted by Reuters as stating that tests do not confirm considerable mutations of the bird flu virus.
