The Ministry of Health (MOH) has confirmed that there are no human cases of bird flu in Singapore and the risk of contracting the virus remains low. However, the ministry emphasizes the importance of staying vigilant and taking preventive measures against potential infections.
Prevention Measures
Given that nearly all human cases of bird flu reported overseas have involved close contact with infected birds, poultry, or contaminated environments, the best way to prevent infection is to avoid such exposure. The MOH advises the public to steer clear of direct contact with wild birds and domestic poultry that might carry bird flu viruses.
Public Advisory
The ministry strongly urges the public to remain cautious and avoid interacting with potentially infected birds to reduce the risk of avian influenza transmission. This precautionary approach is crucial for maintaining public health and preventing the spread of the virus.
