More than 300 dairy herds have tested positive in California in the last 30 days alone. The governor said that cases detected in dairy cows on farms in Southern California showed the need for expanded monitoring and a more coordinated statewide response.

There's no evidence of ongoing human-to-human spread in California or the rest of the country, but scientists warn that uncontrolled spread in dairy cattle heightens the risk of spillover into humans, which could give the virus a chance to acquire dangerous mutations. The state of emergency in California comes on the heels of another worrying development, the first severe illness in a U.S.

This will give regulators the power to test samples from dairy farms or when the milk's being transported or processed. When bird flu is found, the USDA will trace the source. Private labs will also have to report any positive findings. The testing program is launching in California, Colorado, Michigan, Mississippi, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.

Previous research has found no viable H5N1 virus in the milk sold on store shelves, which has been pasteurized. Recently, raw milk being sold in California was recalled after bird flu was detected. While the risks aren't entirely clear, scientists say it's possible consuming that could lead to an infection. Will Stone, NPR News.
