BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

January 28, 2014 Reprints

Hong Kong has issued a ban on live chicken sales until Feb. 18 2014 after a sample imported from mainland China was found to be infected with H7N9 avian influenza virus, Bloomberg reported.

Hong Kong will also cull around 20,000 birds and strengthen inspections to stem a potential spreading of the disease.

Nineteen deaths have occurred so far in China in 2014 because of the H7N9 strain of bird flu, Bloomberg reported citing Xinhua News Agency.
