UK Confirms Human Case of H5N1 Bird Flu in West Midlands, Low Public Risk
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has confirmed a human case of bird flu, specifically the H5N1 strain, in the West Midlands region of England. The individual contracted the virus after having close and prolonged contact with a large number of infected birds on a farm. The birds were infected with the DI.2 genotype, which is circulating among birds in the UK this season, distinct from strains found in the US. The UKHSA has stated that the risk to the wider public remains very low, and there is currently no evidence of human-to-human transmission. The affected person is currently well and has been admitted to a High Consequence Infectious Disease unit. The UK has taken measures to limit the spread of the disease, including the humane culling of infected birds and implementing strict biosecurity standards. The UK has also added the H5 vaccine to its stockpile as part of its preparedness plans.
