CHILLIWACK — Another two Fraser Valley farms have been struck with the highly contagious avian flu.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says the virus was confirmed this week on commercial poultry farms in Abbotsford and Chilliwack.

While the virus affects birds, there is no evidence it can be passed to humans who consume poultry products.

The agency’s website shows the number of active infected premises in the province as of Wednesday was 72.
