After a fresh outbreak, what problems does bird flu pose for Lincolnshire?
As the world continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, experts warn of a potential new health crisis on the horizon - bird flu.
The deadly virus has proved to be a serious problem across Lincolnshire over the last few years, with millions of birds culled at huge cost to businesses. Recently, two poultry workers in the UK tested positive for the virus after coming into contact with infected birds, although the location of this has not been confirmed.Thousands of chickens were culled after a bird flu outbreak in Lincolnshire in 2022 | Photo: Open Cages
Experts estimate that if the virus were to spread among humans, it could result in a fatality rate of 50%-60%, including children.
