A mysterious death of 50 snow geese found on the west side of Seneca Lake in Geneva, New York, is being investigated for bird flu. Testing has begun by local health officials. This comes after a recent detection of bird flu in Seneca County, prompting concerns about potential egg price increases.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have stated that the risk to humans remains low, but public health officials are taking precautions to monitor the situation. Kate Ott, director of Ontario County Public Health, advises people to exercise caution when approaching areas where birds may be affected.
To track suspected outbreaks in wild birds, an online platform has been set up. The incident serves as a reminder for those living near Seneca Lake to remain vigilant and report any potential cases to the authorities.
