CDC Issues Updated Guidance to Help Prevent Spread of Flu at Agricultural Fairs
In response to the ongoing H5N1 bird flu outbreak affecting poultry and cows in the U.S., the CDC has updated its guidance to help prevent the spread of flu at agricultural fairs. This guidance is crucial as four human cases linked to sick cows have been reported.
The CDC emphasizes the importance of preventive measures to protect exhibitors, visitors, and livestock from flu. With numerous agricultural fairs this summer and fall, close contact with various animals increases the risk of flu transmission. The CDC's recommendations aim to mitigate this risk, ensuring public health safety at these events. Read more from the CDC here.
