In British Columbia, a teenager has been hospitalized in critical condition after being contracted with H5N1, the first known human case of bird flu in Canada.
Health officials emphasized that the virus, although serious, poses a low risk to the public since it does not easily spread between humans.
Dr. Bonnie Henry noted that officials are actively investigating the source of the virus’s transmission, indicating that determining the origin may be challenging.
The teenager was treated for respiratory symptoms about a week before the hospitalization, highlighting the need for timely medical attention in such cases.
