Summary
Federal authorities are urging egg producers to shelter free-range birds indoors to curb the spread of H5N1 bird flu, as a time-limited biosecurity measure set to be reviewed in two weeks. Experts warn native Australian wildlife, with no prior exposure to the virus, could face devastating die-offs, and the virus may also infect mammals. CSIRO is investigating two new suspected cases in Western and New South Wales, bringing Australia’s confirmed cases to five. Producers are advised to minimize bird exposure to wild birds, while the public should avoid and report any sick or dead birds — and remain vigilant with hygiene around animals, even though human risk remains low.
