For the first time, Detecting bird flu in the human body. Caution to avoid infection.

Bird flu, or avian influenza, has been detected in humans in China, the epicenter of the Corona epidemic. This is the first time that the H3N8 strain of the virus has been detected in humans. The country's National Health Commission, NHC, said on Tuesday.

H3N8 has been detected in the body of a 4-year-old boy in China's central Henan province, AFP reports. It is said that the child was recently admitted to the hospital with fever and other symptoms. He was later found to have bird flu in his body.

A statement from the NHC said the baby could be infected and eaten from a chicken and cattle farm at home. It is a matter of relief that no symptoms have been seen in the body of anyone who came in contact with him yet.

The statement added that the risk of H3N8 bird flu outbreak was low, adding that the bird flu had previously infected horses, birds and seals in various countries. Although it is now identified in the human body, there is less risk of an epidemic.

Even then, Chinese authorities have warned everyone to stay away from dead and sick animals to avoid bird flu transmission. In addition, it is recommended to take treatment as soon as you see fever or respiratory problems.
