''#WHO assesses the #risk of #human #infection as low for the general population, and low to moderate for #cat owners and #vets, without the use of appropriate #PPE.
Infection of cats with #H5N1 has been reported before, but this is the first report of high numbers of infected cats over a wide geographical area.
WHO continues to monitor the situation, in close collaboration with partners and the government of Poland.'' #epizootic #panzootic #pandemic #emergency #alert
