The man was in direct contact with infected poultry on a farm.
The farm work is part of a pre-release employment program in which inmates can work for private companies and be paid a wage.officials detected the virus in a single nasal specimen from the man and the result was confirmed by the CDC on April 27.Microbiologist Anne Vandenburg-Carroll tests poultry samples for the presence of avian influenza, or bird flu, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Veterinary diagnostics lab in Madison, Wis., March 24, 2022..
Dr. Rachel Herlihy, state epidemiologist for the CDPHE, told ABC News the man had 10 close contacts who were either coworkers of his on the farm, lived with him or used the same transportation services as he did. They all tested negative."We aren’t certain if this individual was truly infected or not and we might actually never know with certainty," Herlihy said.
The CDC also noted it possible for the detection of bird flu to be the result of surface contamination. Health officials insisted there is little risk to the general public and there is no evidence the virus spreads from person to person. "We know that this is really primarily an animal health issue," Herlihy said."There are lots of viruses that are transmitted within a species but not between species ... Everything we know about the virus right now suggests that it's really just being transmitted between avian species."
