The head of Rospotrebnadzor of Russia Anna Popova reassured citizens, saying that there are no risks associated with the spread of bird flu for the country’s residents.
Despite the presence of avian influenza in Russia, there is no danger to humans.
“Today, the variants of the avian influenza virus that we see on the territory of the Russian Federation are not dangerous to humans. There are no risks for people,” Popova said.
However, when traveling abroad, you should exercise extreme caution, because outside the Russian Federation the situation with the spread of influenza may be different.
It is recommended not to touch poultry houses, to be in places of accumulation of winged ones, not to touch dead individuals. Direct contact with sick birds threatens both the flu itself and, for example, psittacosis. Some doctors warn about avian rabies.
“We continue to deal with this problem, carefully observing the changes in the bird flu virus,” Popova emphasized, writes about this. Interfax .
