Officials confirmed avian influenza at a commercial poultry facility in Pierce County, Washington, and quarantined the site while monitoring exposed workers. Eggs from infected birds will be destroyed, and farms within six miles are under surveillance; no human cases were reported and officials said public risk was very low.
Destroying infected birds and eggs directly removes poultry and egg supply, supporting local prices; the broader effect depends on whether the outbreak spreads beyond the quarantined facility.
