Hong Kong, May 22 (Xinhua) — According to reports from Reuters and the British Guardian, the Victoria State Health Department in Australia reported on May 22 the country’s first case of a human infected with avian influenza. This is the first such case in Australia, prompting widespread concern among local health authorities and the public.
It is understood that the patient is an adult female resident of Victoria who recently experienced symptoms similar to the flu and was diagnosed with the avian influenza virus upon medical examination. Currently, the patient is undergoing isolation treatment, and her condition is stable with no major issues.
The Victoria State Health Department stated that the infection may have occurred due to the patient’s direct contact with birds infected with avian influenza. The department reminded the public that avian influenza is primarily transmitted through contact with infected birds or their secretions and excreta, and can also be spread indirectly through contact with contaminated environments.
To prevent the spread of the outbreak, the Victoria State Health Department has taken a series of measures, including strengthening surveillance for avian influenza, raising public awareness, and providing guidance on personal protective measures. At the same time, relevant departments are closely tracking individuals who have come into contact with the patient to ensure timely implementation of preventive measures.
The Australian government has issued a statement urging the public to remain vigilant and follow the guidance of health authorities, taking preventive measures such as frequent hand washing and avoiding contact with live poultry and birds to reduce the risk of avian influenza infection.
The report of Australia’s first case of human infection with avian influenza highlights the existence and transmission risks of the virus. Worldwide, the issue of avian influenza virus mutations and spread continues to be a matter of concern and research to ensure public health safety.
