The infected individual, an adult, contracted the\u2064 virus while working at a dairy farm in Churchill\u200b County. \u2064The person is recovering from pink eye associated with \u200dthe infection. last month, bird flu was detected in dairy \u2063cattle within\u200d the same \u200dregion. Currently, there is\u2063 no\u2063 evidence indicating \u200cthat the virus can \u2064spread from person to\u200d person, adn the health district \u2062is monitoring close contacts\u200c and\u200d farm workers for \u200dpotential symptoms. Despite this case, the general public is considered to be \u200dat low risk, \u2064tho\u2062 those who work \u200dwith birds or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">livestock face higher exposure<\/a>. The nevada Department of Agriculture previously reported the state&#8217;s initial bird flu \u2064case in December 2024, with the \u2062same D1.1\u2063 genotype\u200b identified in infected cattle.
