World Health Organization recommendations about Avian Fluenza or Bird Flu

World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations relating to travellers coming from and going to countries experiencing outbreaks of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian fluenza.

02 December 2005 by World Health Organization (WHO)

WHO has not advised travellers to stay away from affected areas. WHO said " Travellers to areas affected by avian influenza in birds are not considered to be at elevated risk of infection unless direct and un-protected exposure to infected birds (including feathers, faeces and under-cooked meat and egg products) occurs".

WHO continues to recommend that "Travellers to affected areas should avoid contact with live animal markets and poultry farms, and any free-ranging or caged poultry. Large amounts of the virus are known to be excreted in the droppings from infected birds. Populations in affected countries are advised to avoid contact with dead migratory birds or wild birds showing signs of disease". More details
