A reminder that other infectious diseases carry on, with news reports of outbreaks of H5N8 avian influenza in wild birds and on farms, in the UK and elsewhere.
Many avian influenza sites have yet to be updated, but here are some that are up to date:
UK government advice(Defra) on avian influenza, with updates on the latest situation.
A flu diary - blog kept by Michael Coston. There is a post from yesterday describing an outbreak in North Yorkshire, and one from the 11th November about other cases, so scan the posts.
World Health Organization's page on avian influenza (seems to include a small amount of material about H5N8)
OIE: World Organisation for Animal Health: Avian influenza portal - regular updates, the latest of which (November 2020) certainly discusses H5N8.
Wageningen University and Research - Avian influenza - includes a map of recent cases in the Netherlands (ook in Nederlands)
Sites from the NHS, Health and Safety Executive, NHS Scotland, FitForTravel have yet to be updated.
