猴子没病，加拿大却出了鸟病
OTTAWA, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Canada has detected its first presumptive case of H5 bird flu in a person, a teenager in the western province of British Columbia, health officials said on Saturday.
The teenager likely caught the virus from a bird or animal and was receiving care at a children's hospital, the province said in a statement.
The province said it was investigating the source of exposure and identifying the teenager's contacts. The risk to the public remains low, Canada's Health Minister Mark Holland said in posting on X.
There has been no evidence of person-to-person spread so far. But if that were to happen, a pandemic could unfold, scientists have said.
