LONDON, 24 February (Reuters) – The WHO is cooperating with Cambodian authorities after two confirmed cases of H5N1 avian flu in humans were found in one family in the country.
Dr. Sylvie Briand, the director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention, described the situation as “worrying” due to the rise in cases in birds, mammals and humans and told reporters during a virtual briefing that the WHO is reviewing its global risk assessment.
The UN health organization previously assessed the risk of bird flu for humans as low.
