Bird Flu in Humans


As of October 23, 2024, CDPH has confirmed fifteen (15) human cases of bird flu in California. All individuals had contact with animals at different farms and all have experienced mild symptoms, including eye redness or discharge (conjunctivitis). None of the individuals have been hospitalized. While the risk to the general public remains low, additional human cases of bird flu are expected to be identified and confirmed in California among individuals who have contact with infected dairy cattle. CDPH recommends that personal protective equipment (PPE), such as eye protection (face shields or safety goggles), respirators (N95 masks), and gloves be worn by anyone working with animals or materials that are infected or potentially infected with the bird flu virus. Wearing PPE helps prevent infection. Please see CDPH’s Worker Protection from Bird Flu for full PPE guidance. For the latest updates from CDPH, visit Bird Flu (ca.gov).

USDA listed 23 new cases today with a confirmed date of Nov. 6 ( 1 case is included in the 236 CA number above - 22 are totally new cases).

Yesterday they posted 2 cases with a confirmed date of Nov. 5 which both are included in the CA total number of 236 - see above post):







I believe this brings California's total to 258.
