The man was treated in a hospital in Suining city of Sichuan. He was the first H7N9 patient in Sichuan, the provincial health and family planning commission said.

“His temperature is normal and he shows no symptoms of infection,” said He Zhengguang, head of the Suining city H7N9 prevention experts’ team.
