The individual, who was severely immunocompromised, had been receiving treatment for a serious illness. French authorities have stated that there is currently no identified health risk to the general population, as investigations into the case are ongoing. The French agriculture ministry described this case as exceptional, as the virus had been considered non-transmissible to humans until now.",
