England is facing multiple bird flu cases, leading health officials to elevate the risk level for wild birds to ‘very high’. The outbreak has affected several regions, raising alarms for both poultry farms and wild bird populations.
In response, authorities are swiftly implementing stricter biosecurity measures on farms and are regularly monitoring the impacted areas. The public is encouraged to report any unusual wild bird deaths to help curb the spread of the disease.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has assured the public that there is no immediate threat to human health, although experts caution that more cases could arise as the situation develops.
