[Both people were known to have recently worked
on an infected poultry farm and
have since tested negative.
Neither worker experienced symptoms of
avian influenza,
with both cases found during screening.

The risk to the general population remains very low,
the UKHSA added.

The UKHSA is running a programme of
testing workers who have come into contact
with infected birds,
but is also running asymptomatic testing.

The first person who tested positive
is thought to have inhaled the virus.


The second person is thought to be a
more complicated case and it is unclear
whether they have suffered a genuine infection or
whether they too inhaled the virus while at work.]
