Canada reported its first-ever presumptive human case of H5 bird flu in British Columbia, marking a significant development in the country's efforts to monitor and manage the spread of avian diseases. A teenager tested positive for avian influenza caused by the H5 influenza virus, and health authorities are investigating the source of exposure, believed to be an animal or bird. Public health officials are taking measures to track potential contacts, provide necessary care, and prevent further cases. This rare event has prompted a coordinated response from Canadian health authorities to ensure public safety.
