The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dispatched field response personnel to a poultry farm in Donghae, Gangwon-do, where a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus was detected and buried.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explained that it is a measure to prevent the avian influenza virus from infecting the human body, and mammals, including humans, are often transmitted overseas recently.
However, until now, no human infection has been reported in Korea.
When infected with avian influenza, ophthalmic symptoms such as conjunctivitis or respiratory symptoms such as fever, muscle pain, and cough occur within 10 days after burial.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that the number of confirmed cases is increasing overseas even though there were only minor ophthalmic symptoms without respiratory symptoms, and urged people to report symptoms to health centers as soon as possible.
