The Centre for Health Protection has learned of six avian influenza A (H7N9) cases on the Mainland, involving four men and two women.
The patients, aged 35 to 83, are from Jiangxi, Shanghai, Hunan and Shandong.
The centre reminded travellers to the Mainland and other avian influenza-affected areas not to visit live poultry markets and farms, and to avoid contact with poultry and their droppings.
