Depending on the type of viruses that cause the infection, there are several subvariants such as H5N1, H5N3 and H5N8.The current H5N1 outbreak has taken the lives of more than 60 million birds and has been circulating in wild birds since January 2022.Several adult harbor seals in the Puget Sound region in Washington have tested positive for the H5N1 strain since September, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration West Coast Region.&quot;It&#039;s really an unprecedented outbreak.

However, after an increasing number of cases of H5N1 avian influenza among mammals, WHO raised concern that it may undergo adaptations to infect humans.

Residents have been requested to report sick or dead wild birds in the area to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.&quot;When you see a sick wild animal, there is always a potential risk to you if you go up and touch it or get too close to being infected.
