Avian Flu is a disease essentially impacting fowl. There are rare cases where the disease has passed to animals or humans. No efficient human-to-human transmission strain has developed and public education reduces the risk of avian-to-human transmission.

There is no present threat to tourists and there is no case for restricting travel. However, if travelling to flu-infected localities, the best advice is to avoid contact with live birds of any variety.
