Bird flu has been detected in two poultry workers in England although there are no signs of human-to-human transmission, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said.
Government health bosses said it had detected the Influenza A (H5) virus in two poultry workers, following the introduction of an asymptomatic testing programme for people who have been in contact with infected birds.
The two people returning positive tests are known to have recently worked on an infected poultry farm in England. Neither has experienced any symptoms of avian influenza and both have since tested negative.
