The first human case of bird flu in Los Angeles County was detected in an adult exposed to infected livestock, symptoms mild, and recovering at home.
California has 36 confirmed human cases of bird flu. Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency due to rising infections and severity of cases.
Public risk of bird flu infection remains low, with no evidence of person-to-person spread, so officials are monitoring close contacts of the infected individual.
Symptoms of bird flu virus in humans include fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, and digestive issues. Those working with infected animals face higher exposure risks.
