Dead birds found in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong were positive for H5N 1 A few days ago, the Agriculture and Fisheries Department of Hong Kong confirmed that the dead bird found in Causeway Bay contained H5N 1 avian influenza virus, and the Highways Department immediately sent people to the scene to clean up roadside facilities. However, there are still many wild birds gathering around. The cleaning workers of Highways Department came to the scene wearing protective clothing and cleaned the railings with disinfectant, but just after cleaning, the birds flew to the railings to rest. Workers said that the current frequency of cleaning railings will be changed from once a month to twice a day.
So how do the residents nearby react to the birds infected with bird flu again?
I have been worried for many years, but there is nothing I can do. Look at the windows of these houses. There is another problem. Every morning, some people bring cereal or bread to feed the birds on the ground.
If you see a bird, of course you will avoid it. Don't touch it. Try not to touch it, and it will be fine.
The person in charge of the relevant organization reminds Hong Kong citizens and tourists to pay attention to personal hygiene and try to avoid contact with wild birds and live poultry.
