Bird flu cases are steadily increasing in states around the country, as concerns grow about it spreading further.
This week, Washington reported its first cases of avian influenza. Four agriculture workers tested presumptively positive after working with infected birds at an egg farm in Franklin County. The state’s health department said that the workers had mild symptoms and were given antiviral medication. Additional people on the farm were also being tested, and 800,000 birds were euthanized after test results showed they had been infected.
