UK poultry workers test positive for avian flu - Catherine - 05-17-2023
Poultry workers are considered high risk for avian flu, so they are tested. Two workers have tested positive. They caught the flu from the poultry. So far there has been no human to human transmission.

This is worrying. I am wondering if the humans can give flu back to birds. There have been so many bird deaths globally. We don't need another source of transmission. It is good that they are monitoring the situation so carefully.
