Das Vogelgrippe-Virus möglicherweise in einer Handvoll Abwassersites gefunden, sagt die CDC

Das Vogelgrippe-Virus wurde möglicherweise in einer Handvoll Abwasserspeicherorte gefunden, teilten die Centers for Disease Control and Prevention am Freitag mit.

Ein neuer Bericht von der CDC deutet darauf hin, dass das Vogelgrippe-Virus in Abwasserproben von fünf Standorten im Mittleren Westen und den Großen Seen gefunden wurde.

“Das zeigt, dass das Virus in diesen Gemeinschaften zirkuliert und dass Menschen möglicherweise gefährdet sind”, sagte der leitende Autor der Studie, Dr. Daniel Jernigan, gegenüber NBC News.

Die CDC betonte, dass es keine Hinweise darauf gibt, dass das Virus leicht von Abwasser auf Menschen übertragen wird. Dennoch schlugen sie vor, dass Personen, die möglicherweise in Kontakt mit kontaminiertem Wasser kommen könnten, Vorsichtsmaßnahmen ergreifen sollten.

Experten empfehlen, Desinfektionsmittel zu verwenden und vermeiden Sie den Kontakt mit kontaminiertem Wasser, um das Risiko einer Ansteckung zu minimieren.

Die CDC untersuchen weiterhin die Situation und fordern die Öffentlichkeit auf, wachsam zu bleiben und auf mögliche Symptome von Vogelgrippe-Virus-Infektionen zu achten.
