A dairy farm worker in Michigan has tested positive for the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus, marking the second human case of H5N1 linked to the unprecedented outbreak among dairy cows in the US.
The CDC confirmed that the nasal swab was negative while the eye swab was positive. The worker only experienced an eye infection, similar to the first case in a dairy farm worker in Texas.
The CDC states that the risk assessment for the general public remains low. However, precautions are necessary for those with exposure to infected or potentially infected animals.
This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
