The Chinese city of Shanghai is temporarily closing its poultry markets due to the H7N9 bird flu outbreak, officials say.

A spokesman for the city authorities said the decision was taken on grounds of public safety.

The city has already begun a mass slaughter of poultry after the virus was discovered in pigeons at a market.

Six people have died in this latest outbreak. The H7N9 virus is a form of avian flu not before seen in humans.

It is not yet known how people are catching the disease, although the WHO says there is currently no evidence of human-to-human transmission.
