It was a flock of chickens in Baldwin City, according to LDCPH.<\/p>\n<p>LDCPH is working with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and Kansas Department of Agriculture to respond, according to the release. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLDCPH has followed up with individuals that were exposed to the flock prior to and during depopulation to ensure they are healthy,\u201d according to the release. \u201cThose exposed will be monitored for signs and symptoms per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The health department said the risk of HPAI to the general public is low. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLDCPH recommends that people should avoid direct contact with sick or dead wild birds, poultry, or other animals and to maintain an appropriate distance,\u201d according to the release. \u201cIf you must have direct or close contact, wear recommended personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and face mask. Wild birds can be infected with avian influenza A viruses even if they don\u2019t look sick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The department recommends that poultry and domestic bird owners monitor their flocks, and if your birds show signs of HPAI, contact your vet or call the department of agriculture at 833-765-2006. You can reach LDCPH at 785-843-3060. <\/p>\n<p>The Douglas County case is the 33rd in Kansas so far this year, according to the KDA.
