China health officials said Sunday that two more people died in China as a result of the recent bird flu, making the death toll 13 from this virus strain.

A total of 60 cases of the H7N9 virus have been reported, two of which were reported on Sunday near Beijing.

Michael O’ Leary is the head of the World Health Organization in China, and he says their organization is expecting more cases.

It is believed that the H7N9 virus is being spread through direct contact with infected birds.

O’Leary says that there is no evidence that shows those who are being infected were not infected from another human.
