Health experts are raising alarms as the H5N1 bird flu virus spreads rapidly across US dairy farms. Since March 2024, the outbreak has affected over 1,000 dairy herds nationwide, leading to more than 70 human infections and at least one confirmed death.
About 87% of the European cases were reported in Romania, which had the highest notification rate, at 1,610.7 cases per 1,000,000 population, followed by Austria (59.5), Belgium (44.9) and Ireland (39.6).

It found that many were unaware of or unwilling to take simple precautions that might decrease their risk of exposure to the virus.
