Two poultry workers test positive for bird flu in England

Health officials say there are no signs of person-to-person transmission, and contact tracing is being done as a precaution

Two poultry workers have tested positive for bird flu after coming into contact with infected birds on the same farm in England, according to the UK Health Security Agency.

The cases were picked up through a screening programme for people who have come into close contact with the virus, though neither individual suffered symptoms and both have since tested negative.
