Door de nieuwsberichten over vogelgriep in Turkije en Roemenië zijn veel vakantiegangers onzeker over hun vakantiebestemming. Op de site van de World Health Organisation (WHO) staat nuttige informatie over de gevolgen van de uitbraak.
WHO continues to recommend that travellers to areas experiencing outbreaks of highly pathogenic H5N1 in poultry should avoid contact with live animal markets and poultry farms. Large amounts of the virus are known to be excreted in the droppings from infected birds. Populations in affected countries are advised to avoid contact with dead migratory birds or wild birds showing signs of disease.
Direct contact with infected poultry, or surfaces and objects contaminated by their droppings, is considered the main route of human infection. Exposure risk is considered highest during slaughter, defeathering, butchering, and preparation of poultry for cooking. There is no evidence that properly cooked poultry or poultry products can be a source of infection.
Aanvang maart kregen wij ook enkele afmeldingen vanwege de vogelgriep maar inmiddels zien we toch weer een stijging van de boekingen gelukkig.Mensen zien de vogelgriep toch op meerdere plaatsen en hebben weer vertrouwen om naar turkije te komen.
