Public health officials are monitoring the spread of bird flu on dairy farms, with three farmworkers in the U.S. already infected. The H5N1 virus has not shown person-to-person transmission but could evolve. Testing challenges include remote locations, lack of sick leave for workers, and language barriers. Efforts are being made to increase testing and surveillance, especially in states like Michigan where bird flu has affected multiple herds and workers. Coordination among agencies is crucial to track the spread of the virus.
