Bird Flu: Is the risk of this infection, considered more dangerous than the coronavirus, increasing again?

A look at medical reports from the past few years reveals that many infectious diseases have severely affected people. Whether it's the coronavirus, monkeypox, Nipah virus, or the new strain of influenza virus that has rapidly spread in recent months, all have been a cause for serious concern for experts. The threat of the H5N1 virus, or bird flu, has also been rapidly increasing in recent years. In a report published in Amar Ujala, we have been highlighting how dangerous this infection can be for both birds and humans.

In India, bird flu cases have also been a cause for serious concern. Recent reports have once again raised public fears about bird flu in some states. According to media reports, an increase in crow deaths has been reported in the Dindigul district of Tamil Nadu, causing widespread fear.

Is the bird flu outbreak on the rise again? Let's understand.

Crow deaths raise public concern.

According to media reports, people in Dindigul district have expressed concerns about bird flu due to reports of increasing crow deaths in recent days. Reports indicate that about six to seven crows suddenly died on February 8th alone, raising concerns about whether the deaths were due to bird flu.

However, on Tuesday, a health official stated that the number of deaths reported in the media is not as high as reported and that there is no need to worry about bird flu. Officials said that one or two crows have died, but this is not the number of deaths reported in some media reports, which is more than 100.

Responding to a question, he said, "There is no need for people to worry about their health. We have informed veterinary doctors, who have collected some samples (from the dead crows) and are investigating the cause of death."
