South Australia implements heightened biosecurity measures following the detection of H5 bird flu in seabirds at Port Elliot and Knights Beach. Body boarders who encountered infected giant petrels describe close contact with the struggling birds, whilst authorities monitor poultry farms and wildlife habitats across the state. Health officials maintain the risk of bird-to-human transmission remains low, though commercial farms face potential flock destruction if cases are detected.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
