Taipei, May 29 (CNA) Taiwan will downgrade its H7N9 travel advisory for various Chinese destinations from June 1, except for Beijing, the Central Epidemic Command Center said Wednesday.
The center has maintained a Level-2, or yellow color-coded, travel alert for eight Chinese provinces and two cities since late April over H7N9 avian flu concerns.
"Starting June 1, the travel advisory will be downgraded to Level-1 for those destinations, except for Beijing," said Chang Feng-yi, director-general of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), who concurrently heads the epidemic command center.

Mainland China confirmed a new human infection with H7N9 influenza epidemic command center with the need to revise the definition of H7N9 flu travel advisory proposals scheduled for 6/1 onwards
While the closure of live markets and the return of warm weather are believed to have contributed to the drop in H7N9 cases, many experts fear the virus will reappear once the live markets are reopened, or cooler weather returns in the fall.
