5634 out of 21,060 birds died from bird flu on a farm in Chhattisgarh (India). The farm workers were forced to destroy all remaining birds.
The World Animal Health Organization (OIE) has confirmed the outbreak of bird flu H5N1 in India. According to India Today, the remaining birds will be rejected to stop the spread of the disease.
H5N1 is a type of influenza virus that causes a highly infectious and severe respiratory disease in birds called bird flu (or "bird flu").
Cases of H5N1 bird flu in humans occur from time to time, but it is difficult to transmit the infection from person to person. When people become infected, the mortality rate is about 60%.
In 2005, David Nabarro, the chief coordinator for bird and human flu of the United Nations, warned the world that a breakthrough of bird flu could kill 5 to 150 million people.
In 2019, Nepal and Taiwan also suffered from serious cases of bird flu, which reduced the sector's performance in both countries and increased the pace of poultry imports.
Earlier, a large-scale outbreak of bird flu was reported in Poland, where the disease was detected at several large poultry farms. As a result of measures to curb the spread of the virus, 100 thousand turkeys and 65 thousand chickens have already been destroyed.
