WASHINGTON, D.C. — A child in California has become the first in the United States to test positive for bird flu infection, authorities said Friday, as health officials offered checks and preventive treatment to exposed contacts at the child's day-care center.
'It's natural for people to be concerned, and 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,' said CDPH director Tomas Aragon.'No human-to-human spread of bird flu has been documented in any country for more than 15 years,' he added.
