Public health officials are worried about the spread of bird flu in dairy farms, detected in three workers and cattle across a dozen states in the U.S. Testing and surveillance of dairy workers face challenges, as farms are remote and workers lack access to healthcare. Immigrant dairy workers are disproportionately affected, and efforts are being made to provide free personal protective equipment. Coordination between agriculture and health departments is crucial in tracking viral spread, with calls for more proactive testing and safeguard measures to protect workers' health.
