I caught this on another avian flu blog and was glad to see it - China is implementing market rest days
Regular rest days help stop the spread of H5N1 because poultry vendors are required to stop selling and slaughtering and clean and disinfect their area of the market. Also, it gives the government a chance to clean larger areas of the market, ensure that there is proper drainage of waste, etc.

Market clean up days are recommend by WHO - you can find the guidelines at the Communications Initiative website
