WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that recent reports of H5NI infections in mink, otters and sealions ‘need to be monitored closely’
The recent spread to mammals of H5N1 influenza – commonly known as bird flu – needs to be monitored, but the risk to humans remains low, the World Health Organization said on Wednesday.
He said the risk to humans remained low, noting that human cases have been rare since the flu strain emerged in 1996. He said people were advised not to touch dead or sick wild animals and to instead report them to local and national authorities, who were monitoring the situation.
