Efforts to contain the H5N1 avian flu outbreak are ongoing as the CDC confirms the first severe U.S. case linked to a backyard flock in Louisiana. California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency after outbreaks in dairy cows.
Authorities advise avoiding sick animals, wearing protective gear, and cooking poultry thoroughly. “Farmers and flock owners are urged to monitor animals and report any illnesses.”
Officials stress that the “risk of human-to-human transmission remains low,” focusing on protecting public health and agriculture.
Precautionary measures and vigilance are key in managing the outbreak.
