BRITAIN could be brought to its knees by bird flu, Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt admitted last night.

She advised anyone with flu symptoms to stay at home and not risk spreading the disease.

And she admitted big public events like football matches or concerts may be outlawed if there is a pandemic.

Ms Hewitt told ITV’s Jonathan Dimbleby: “People would be advised to stay away from crowds.”

She was speaking as dead Brent geese from the bird flu danger-zone of Siberia began washing-up in Essex.
