UK reports human case of avian flu

"All contacts of the individual, including those who visited the premises, have been traced and there is no evidence of onward spread of the infection to anyone else," it added.

"The individual is currently well and self-isolating."

The UKHSA said the risk to the wider public from avian flu continues to be very low but said people should not touch sick or dead birds.

"Bird to human transmission of avian flu is very rare and has only occurred a small number of times in the UK previously," it said.
