The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that the risk to public health from avian influenza A (H5N1) remains low, despite its spread among dairy cattle in the United States. WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, mentioned that the virus has not yet shown signs of easily spreading among humans, with 893 human cases reported since 2003. This assessment leads WHO to continue viewing the risk to public health as low at present.
