Bird flu (H5N1) was detected at four dairy farms in San Bernardino County. Despite this detection, health officials assert that the risk of infection to humans is minimal, with no person-to-person transmission reported in California. The health officer has urged caution when handling animals or animal products as bird flu can spread through various means, including contaminated surfaces and handling sick animals. Similar avian influenza variants were identified earlier in Riverside County, leading to calls for increased safety measures among those working in animal production.
