The United States Department of Agriculture confirmed the presence of bird flu in Hawaii on Monday, the first case of the virus in a domestic flock in the state since the current outbreak began in 2022.

H5 bird flu, a type of avian influenza, has infected dozens of people in the U.S., and spread to seven states and Canada this year. As more human cases arise, there's deepening worry over whether the virus could lead to another pandemic or lockdown.
