The latest cases were found in workers who had contact with infected cattle in California's Central Valley, suggesting they were infected through animal contact, not by people.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the positive test results, noting that new cases of bird flu in people exposed to infected animals is 'not unexpected'.
Across the U.S., more than 250 dairy herds have been infected in 14 states since the outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza was confirmed in March.
California health officials stated that the risk to the public remains low despite the confirmed infections, emphasizing the ongoing monitoring of the outbreak.
