To help reduce any risk, the agency recommends Canadians cook game thoroughly to an internal temperature of approximately 71 C , and avoid direct contact with blood, feces and respiratory secretions of all wild birds.
“There have been no known human cases of the virus in Canada associated with the current outbreak. Although human cases of HPAI H5N1 have been recorded in several countries, there has been no evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission,” the CFIA said. The CFIA says it has been monitoring the situation and has activated a response team of experts, including veterinarians, and administrative and field staff, to co-ordinate action with federal, provincial and municipal partners and industries to help prevent the spread of the bird flu.
It does this through thorough cleaning, disinfection, depopulation and disease surveillance at infected premises, and by placing “movement controls, such as quarantining” on infected areas to prevent the disease from spreading.
