💨 Abstract

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that people hospitalized for flu should be tested for bird flu within 24 hours. This move is aimed at preventing delays in identifying human infections with avian influenza A (H5N1) viruses, due to high levels of seasonal influenza. The risk to the general public from bird flu is low, with no evidence of person-to-person spread.
