There is no health risk in eating sunny side-up, lechon manok, kwek-kwek and balut, a multi-agriculture group claimed on Friday, citing an assessment of the World health Organization (WHO). The confirmation test from Australia that that identified the avian influenza strain that hit some farms in Central Luzon as H5N6 should help calm the public, the Samahang Industriya ng Agrikultura (SINAG), said in an emailed statement. "There is no impending public health crisis in the country," it added. ?Avian influenza is not something new. What is important is that both the industry and government are prepared with the proper quarantine guidelines and bio-security protocols,? said Rosendo So, SINAG chair. The test results from Australia have not changed the current government protocols and industry responses when it comes to the avian flu. "Human infections with the H5N6 virus seem to be sporadic with no ongoing human-to-human transmission; and the risk of international disease spread is considered low, according to SINAG, saying that was the assessment of the WHO. "There is likewise no recommendation of any travel and trade restrictions to countries with the said virus," the group noted. ?Public health experts and animal health specialists have recommended the downgrading of avian influenza as animal disease, with low probability of transmission to people working in poultry farms or individuals dealing with live birds,? it added. H5N6 cases were first reported in China, Laos and Vietnam in 2014. Eight other Asian countries have reported H5N6 cases, most recently Japan, South Korea, Myanmar, and Taiwan. ? VDS, GMA News
