None of the individuals was hospitalized, the news release stated. The three cases have yet to be confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but state officials have sent samples to the CDC for testing, officials said in a statement. More cases could be confirmed from this outbreak — state officials said more samples have been collected from symptomatic workers, which will be tested this weekend. “All of the people who tested presumptive positive experienced mild symptoms and were workers … at a poultry facility experiencing an outbreak of the H5N1 virus that is circulating in wild birds and has been causing multi-state outbreaks in dairy cows and poultry,” CDC officials stated.
