We advise British Nationals to consult the Foreign and Commonwealth (FCO) Travel Advice
before travelling to Egypt, which provides the latest information on the bird flu
virus in Egypt. It currently states that cases of bird flu in Egypt are mostly in
rural areas, that the risk to humans from Avian Influenza is believed to be very low,
that live animal markets, poultry farms and other close contact with domestic, caged
or wild birds should be avoided, and that poultry and egg dishes should be thoroughly
cooked. We keep our Travel Advice under continuous review based on robust and up-to-date
information and analysis from our experts in-country and we will make further updates
to our Travel Advice as necessary.
