Queensland records first case of bird flu

Queensland has recorded its first case of H5 bird flu after a deceased petrel washed up on Moreton Island tested positive for the virus. The sample has been sent to CSIRO laboratories for confirmation by the federal government, with results expected in several days. State authorities have contacted poultry farmers across Queensland and increased biosecurity measures, while advising the public that the risk to humans remains low.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
