NSW awaits test results for suspected bird flu case
Authorities in New South Wales are awaiting test results for a suspected H5N1 bird flu case discovered at Bennett's Beach near Newcastle. If confirmed, it would mark the first bird flu case in NSW and potentially the fifth and sixth cases nationally alongside another suspected case in Perth. The billion-dollar poultry industry is on high alert, with a 500-strong team and drone operators deployed to search beaches for infected birds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
