measures introduced in connection with the presence of bird flu in Moscow will not disrupt everyday life

May 18, 2023

By decree of the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, 10 districts of the city were subject to restrictions.

The measures concern veterinary medicine and agriculture. Associate Professor of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the RUDN University Sergey Voznesensky in an interview with the radio station “Moscow speaking ” noted that bird flu is now not dangerous to humans.

The decree of Sergei Semenovich concerns veterinary medicine and agricultural land. In this case, we are talking about a virus that causes disease in birds. At the moment, the virus is not dangerous to humans, but can spread to poultry farms if precautions are not taken.

Therefore, many people try to avoid contact with wild birds or use protective equipment when engaging in activities that could potentially expose them to avian diseases.

Therefore, to say that these events will radically change everyday life in Moscow would be an exaggeration.

The avian influenza virus is a potential threat. If it crosses the biological threshold and starts causing disease in humans, it will become a major problem.

So far, no cases of human infection with the avian influenza virus have been reported.
