UKHSA Professor Susan Hopkins on the spread of bird flu said: “Current indications are that the bird flu virus we see circulating in birds around the world does not easily spread to humans.
He said there was a risk that the virus could spread to people who had close contact with infected birds and therefore efforts were made to get more information about the risks of the disease from those infected with the virus.
