The first case of highly pathogenic bird flu has been found in Pennsylvania, the state Department of Agriculture said Saturday.

The case was found in a flock of chickens at a poultry farm in Lancaster County, the department said.

The strain of avian influenza, or HPAI, is highly contagious and can be fatal to domestic birds. Poultry and eggs are safe to eat if cooked properly.

So far no human cases of bird flu have been detected in the United States, and there is no immediate threat to public health, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Patient Access Solutions has acquired Tela Mental Health LLC. This acquisition allows PASO to offer mental health services remotely.

Other HPAI cases have been confirmed in South Carolina, Virginia, Delaware, Kentucky, Indiana, New York and Maine. Symptoms in birds include sneezing, coughing, walking or swimming in circles, and swelling of the legs and feet.
