California public health officials are equipping up to 10,000 farmworkers with necessary protective gear, adapting lessons learned from COVID-19 as bird flu cases rise.
Public health officials stated that over 2 million pieces of protective equipment were distributed starting in May, four months before California's first confirmed human bird flu case.
With more than 230 dairies affected by bird flu in central California and more cases detected in other areas, officials are prioritizing preparedness and coordination.
Amy Palmer emphasized California's improved pandemic preparedness compared to 2020, reflecting the increased scale of the emergency stockpile evolved since then.
