The Burlington County Health Department has announced the county's first bird to test positive for H5N1 Avian Influenza or Bird Flu. While this is still primarily an animal health issue, residents are advised to stay informed and take precautions to keep people, pets and backyard poultry away from wild birds or areas where wild birds have been known to frequent. The Burlington County Health Department has created a special H5N1 Avian Influenza webpage with the latest information and guidance about the outbreak at: https://www.co.burlington.nj.us/2115/H5N1-Bird-Flu
