The head of Rospotrebnadzor described the danger of a new type of bird flu

The new type of bird flu will soon mutate and will be transmitted from person to person, said Anna Popova, head of Rospotrebnadzor. TASS reports her words.

“The forecast that this will happen has a fairly high degree of probability. This will most likely happen. But we saw it before the disaster struck, ”she said. Popova also stressed that early detection of a threat will help prepare for a dangerous scenario – to develop tests and create a vaccine.

“We were able to see and warn the entire world community that there is a threat,” added the head of the department. According to Popova, the detection of bird flu in humans has become a world-class discovery.

In February 2021, it became known that employees of a Russian poultry farm located in the southern region of the country were infected for the first time in the world with a new strain – H5N8. An outbreak of influenza among poultry was registered at the enterprise in December 2020.
