Primary Prevention
Prevention of avian influenza is key. Simple things can be done to avoid infection, such as:
- Safely handle produce. You cannot get avian influenza from properly handled and cooked poultry and eggs. There currently is no scientific evidence that people have been infected with bird flu by eating safely handled and properly cooked poultry or eggs.
- Masks. Currently, wearing a mask is not recommended for routine use (e.g., in public) for preventing influenza exposure.
- Travel. CDC does not recommend any travel restrictions to affected countries at this time. However, CDC currently advises that travelers to countries with known outbreaks of H5N1 influenza avoid poultry farms, contact with animals in live food markets, and any surfaces that appear to be contaminated with feces from poultry or other animals.
