Avian Influenza Menu
AgriSafe will continue to monitor information coming from the CDC and other trusted partners. Currently, the CDC is stating that the risk to the public from avian influenza is low, but some people with job or recreational exposure to birds may be at higher risk. For the most up to date information on avian influenza, visit the CDC’s Bird Flu Current Situation Summary.
These two resources have been recently updated and provide guidance about how to protect workers from avian influenza.
