Kathmandu. In China, a rare variant of bird flu, H10N3, has been reported in humans for the first time.

A 41-year-old Chinese man has been diagnosed with the variant, according to international media reports.

According to the report, a 41-year-old man from China's Jiangsu province was diagnosed with corona infection last year. He is now free of infection.

There are many variants of bird flu. However, the infection was not seen in people working in poultry farms. The virus was not detected in tests performed on other people who came in contact with the infected person.

China's National Health Commission (NHC) said on Tuesday that a bird flu patient living in Xinjiang had been hospitalized on April 28. One month later, he was diagnosed with H10N3.
