Dr David Nabarro said, however, that he did not expect the virus to spread in Britain to neighbouring farms because of the quick containment measures put in place by the government.8220;This should mean that it won8217;t spread into other parts in the vicinity,8221; he said in Indonesia, the country worst hit by the bird flu. 8220;That is what I hope, but of course we will see over the next few days.8221;
