“In Michigan, our public health system, in partnership with our local health departments, has a very robust symptom monitoring process. And so we’ve been working very closely in a collaborative way with farm owners, farm workers, our colleagues in agriculture, to make sure that we are monitoring for even the mildest symptoms in folks who are working on impacted farms. And as a result, we’ve been able to test 35 individuals, who developed some sort of symptoms. And now we have had one individual test positive.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, Chief Medical Executive for the State of Michigan:
“So we’re doing symptom monitoring, which means asking folks in a variety of ways, whether it’s touching base with individuals directly on farms or sending those text messages. We’re touching base to determine whether folks are having symptoms and if they are experiencing symptoms, then we are offering testing. And testing can be a nasopharyngeal swab or a conjunctival swab."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, Chief Medical Executive for the State of Michigan:
“Our risk assessment and the risk assessment done by the CDC has not changed. The risk to the general public remains low. We know that with our current understanding of H5 influenza, and H5 influenza particularly in livestock, that there is the risk for sporadic human cases. And that’s what we’ve seen at this time. What we have not seen is any sort of sustained human to human transmission. And that means that the risk to the general public is low. We have specific guidance for those who work on farms in terms of personal protective equipment and how to be safe, how to monitor for symptoms, what to do if they develop symptoms. And then, of course, we continue to advise people to just use common sense precautions, such as drinking pasteurized milk.”

9. STILL Cows at a dairy farm
STORYLINE:
A Michigan dairy worker has been diagnosed with bird flu — the second human case associated with an outbreak in U.S. dairy cows.
The worker had been in contact with cows presumed to be infected, experienced mild eye symptoms and has recovered, U.S. and Michigan health officials said in announcing the case Wednesday. A nasal swab from the person tested negative for the virus, but an eye swab tested positive, “indicating an eye infection," the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.
