"California has declared a state of emergency over the outbreak of bird flu among dairy cows. Infected herds have also been identified in 15 other states."
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reiterated Wednesday that H5N1 bird flu poses a low risk to the public's health overall, despite the outbreak in California."
"People who work closely with animals, like dairy farmworkers, are particularly susceptible and should wear personal protective equipment such as masks, gloves and safety goggles."
"On Wednesday, the CDC confirmed the first severe case of H5N1 bird flu in the country: a patient in Louisiana, who was hospitalized after being exposed to backyard flocks."
