NSW records first suspected bird flu case
A giant petrel found at Hawks Nest on the New South Wales mid-north coast has tested positive for H5 influenza, with urgent CSIRO testing underway to confirm if it carries the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain. If confirmed, this would be the seventh case of bird flu in Australia, with five cases in Western Australia and one in South Australia. NSW authorities have increased surveillance and are urging the public to report sick birds without touching them, while confirming there is no evidence of spread to commercial poultry flocks or captive birds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy…
