HPAI and Agritourism Factsheet

( July, 2022 )

Summary

The 2022 arrival of wildfowl and HPAI has been quite concerning, but almost entirely for birds and not for humans. There is no evidence of the current 2022 variant of the virus infecting people and then being passed to other people. Because transmission to humans is linked with direct exposure to sick birds or contaminated environments, you can consider interaction of visitors with healthy birds to be low risk. This factsheet provides a guide to keeping visitors and birds safe on poultry farms.
