WINNIPEG — Manitoba has reported its first bird flu case of 2024.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza was detected at a commercial poultry operation in the Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie on Nov. 26, according to a Canadian Food Inspection Agency database.

A primary control zone was set up around the site.

The CFIA said there is no evidence to suggest eating cooked poultry or eggs could transmit the virus to humans.
