Health: Avian Influenza
While there has not been a large avian influenza outbreak for some time, it is wise to remain mindful of the contingency plans we should all have in place should such an event occur. Australian travellers, long-term residents and businesses overseas should inform themselves about the risks of avian influenza, be prepared to take personal responsibility for their own safety and put appropriate contingency plans in place.
Australians who live in an avian influenza affected area for an extended period should consider, as a precautionary measure, having access to influenza antiviral medicine for treatment.
Australians intending to travel to affected countries for shorter periods are at much lower risk of infection, but should discuss the risk of avian influenza with their doctor as part of their routine pre-travel health checks.
If you are visiting or living in a country affected by avian influenza you should follow sensible precautions to reduce infection risk.
If the threat of sustained human-to-human transmission appears serious, we will advise Australians in affected countries to consider leaving. If they don't leave when first advised to do so, they may be prevented from leaving later.
In case they need to depart an affected country at short notice, Australians should ensure that their travel documents are up to date.
If a widespread outbreak occurs, the delivery of consular assistance to Australians could be severely constrained. Australian missions and offices overseas will not be in a position to provide influenza antiviral medicines to Australians in affected areas. Australian travellers, long-term residents and businesses are responsible for securing their own supply of influenza antiviral medicine, if required.

澳大利亚公民：
您们好！尽管已经有一段时间没有爆发大规模的禽流感，我们还是应该随时做好应急准备以防类似的事情发生。澳大利亚旅游者、长期居住本地的澳大利亚公民和商业人士应该及时获取有关禽流感的信息，为自己的安全负责，并时刻准备好应对措施。
长期居住在禽流感疫区的澳大利亚公民应该考虑准备好抗流感病毒的治疗药物作为预防措施。
打算前往受禽流感影响国家做短期旅游的澳大利亚公民受感染的可能性较低，但应该向医生了解禽流感的危害，以作为出行前健康检查的一部分。
如果您正在受禽流感影响的国家旅游或居住，您应该采取谨慎的预防措施以减少受感染的机会。
如果出现了严重的持续性的人与人之间的流感病毒传染的迹象，我们建议在受感染国家的澳大利亚公民离开该地区。在第一次建议撤离的时候没有离开的澳大利亚公民将不能在之后离开该地区。
为了能够在收到通知后尽快离开受禽流感影响的国家，澳大利亚公民应该确保其旅游文件的资料更新。
如果发生了大范围的禽流感病情，提供给澳大利亚公民的领事服务将会受到严重的限制。澳大利亚驻外使领馆和办公室不能在疫区为澳大利亚公民提供抗流感病毒的药物。如果可能的话，澳大利亚旅游者、长期居住本地的澳大利亚公民和商业人士应确保自己备有抗流感病毒的药物。
