The San Francisco Department of Public Health announced that a presumptive case of H5N1 was found in a child who experienced mild symptoms, further emphasizing the importance of community health vigilance.
"I want to assure everyone in our city that the risk to the general public is low, and there is no current evidence that the virus can be transmitted between people," says Dr. Grant Colfax.
While the initial case has occurred in a child, public health officials note this is part of a broader concern over H5N1 awareness, particularly in relation to exposure from birds and dairy.
The CDC reported this week on the first confirmed human death from bird flu, indicating heightened public health attention as new cases emerge during this ongoing epidemic.
