Confirmed bird flu cases at Doncaster Lakeside prompt health measures


Confirmed bird flu cases at Doncaster Lakeside prompt health measures

Health and safety measures are being introduced after dead birds at a lake in South Yorkshire were found to have bird flu.

City of Doncaster Council said the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) confirmed the birds, found at Doncaster Lakeside, had avian influenza.

The local authority said it was working with Defra and the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) to control the spread of the disease.

The UK Health Security Agency said the risk to human health was low but advised people not to touch or pick up any dead or visibly sick birds and to avoid bird droppings in parks and lakeside areas.
