Bird flu confirmed in dead birds at Doncaster's Lakeside
The risk to human health is low - but steps are being taken to stop it spreading further
Dead birds found at Doncaster's Lakeside have tested positive for avian influenza, also known as bird flu, according to Doncaster Council.
The council confirmed that it is working with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Animal and Plant Health Agency to manage the spread of the disease across the city.
Signs are being placed in key areas to warn people, and the council is working closely with individuals and organisations in Doncaster known to keep birds.
The UK Health Security Agency says the risk to human health from bird flu remains low.
However, the public is urged not to touch or pick up any dead or visibly unwell birds and to avoid bird droppings in parks and areas near lakes.
