Two poultry workers in the United Kingdom have been infected with the highly-pathogenic avian influenza that has wreaked havoc in the North American poultry industry.
Few workers take precautions
because it has been believed that this virus does not infect people.
Neither infected worker had any
symptoms of illness and they later both tested negative.
There is also no spread of the
virus from those workers to other people, said the United Kingdom Health
Authority.
