Colorado Declares Bird Flu Emergency
|
[Epoch Times] Colorado Gov. Jared Polis issued an emergency disaster declaration in his state over an outbreak of highly pathogenic bird flu in northeastern Weld County as officials recently reported that 1.8 million chickens were impacted by the virus.
The governor "verbally" declared a disaster after "an avian flu outbreak in a commercial poultry facility in Weld County,"
according to a statement from his office issued on July 8. Mr. Polis’s office did not name the facility that was impacted by the outbreak.
The declaration means that Colorado can use its emergency powers to "take all necessary and appropriate state actions to assist with response, recovery, and mitigation efforts."
Officials in the state said that the bird flu risk to Colorado residents remains low, noting that the virus is spreading among animals.
Prices will go up even higher, but we humans needn’t worry otherwise. | The virus is "not adapted to spread from person to person," Rachel Herlihy, state epidemiologist, said in a news release. "Right now, the most important thing to know is that people who have regular exposure to infected animals are at increased risk of infection and should take precautions when they have contact with sick animals."
Wash your hands frequently, and don’t touch your t-zone. |
