Health officials have noted an unusual case in Missouri where a person contracted bird flu without direct contact with animals, making it the first of its kind this year in the U.S.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the Missouri patient was hospitalized but has since recovered, emphasizing that there was no spread of the virus to close contacts.
Nationwide, human cases of bird flu have occurred primarily in individuals linked to infected animals, highlighting the need for continued vigilance in monitoring outbreaks.
Despite the case in Missouri, the CDC maintains that the risk of bird flu to the general public is low, urging people to avoid contact with sick or dead animals.
