Health officials urged people to identify avian flu symptoms early and properly cook chicken and eggs to limit risk of infections.

Governor Hochul is asking those who come into contact with birds to do their part to stem the spread of avian influenza, after multiple outbreaks around the state. Now, experts are offering advice.

The risk of bird flu to humans is low, but eating undercooked eggs or chicken could increase your chances of exposure to infection and germs.

Being mindful of where your food comes from and how it’s prepared will go a long way toward keeping you, your loved ones, and your community safe.
