The mourning period with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic is not over, now the European Union (EU) countries need to be aware of the possibility of bird flu outbreaks carried by wild and domestic birds.


According to a report submitted by the EU health and food agency, the disease is contagious among birds, but the risk of infection in humans is still low.


However, every country must always take precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the epidemic.


The warning was issued following an outbreak of epidemics in recent months between wild and domestic birds in western Russia and Kazakhstan, which are on their way to migrate in the fall to Europe.



For everyone's knowledge, the spread of the epidemic in humans is rare, but has occurred in the past and can cause death.


However, the risk of bird flu virus transmission to the general public in Europe is still very low.


Therefore, to minimize the risk of transmission, the public is advised not to touch bird carcasses without wearing appropriate personal protective equipment.
