A child in Alameda County tested positive for bird flu. The case differs from others in the state.
Briefly

The potential infection is the first known case in California that does not appear to have originated from contact with infected cattle.
We want to reinforce for parents, caregivers and families that based on the information and data we have, we don't think the child was infectious.
The agency did not disclose information describing the child's interactions with wildlife, noting that the child displayed mild respiratory symptoms.
No human-to-human spread of bird flu has been documented in any country for more than 15 years, indicating low risk to the general public.
