Eighteen chickens have been found dead from bird flu in a Binyamina kindergarten's animal corner, while two others were unaffected. The Health Ministry, which is investigating but has stressed there is no reason to panic, said on Thursday that the animal corner had been completely closed, and that no one - including the children - had had any direct contact with the fowl except for the keeper.However, Channel 1 reported Thursday night that a four-year-old girl who attended the kindergarten had been hospitalized with flu-like symptoms.
