The continuous crisis for bird flu is expected to increase the prices of eggs
In a briefing of public health, the state of the state of New York Kathy Hochul said that markets should undergo a state inspection before they reopen and disinfect the affected market places.

- The outbreak has resulted in the clearing of millions of birds nationwide.
- Although human infections are relatively low, the CDC has reported 67 cases.
Bird flu continues to destroy poultry farms in the US, forcing the poultry market closures and more dead dead birds and higher egg prices.
On Friday, the government of New York Kathy Hochul announced the closure of live poultry markets in New York City and three provinces.
“In the past week, inspectors have detected seven cases of bird flu in poultry during a routine visit to living bird markings in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens,” Hochul said during a virtual briefing for public health.
Bird flu has also ensured that the egg prices shot up and a prospect of the US Department of Agriculture that predicts egg prices will increase by around 20% within the year, compared to a predicted increase of 2.2% for total food prices.
More than 156 million chickens, ducks, turkeys and other chicken have been slaughtered in the United States since the outbreak started in January 2022. As far as people are concerned, 67 people are infected, according to the US Centers for Disease Control.

Although data is limited, experts from the College of American Pathologists said that agricultural workers can have different symptoms than others who are infected, either because of different tribes of the virus or because they were infected in different ways.
For example, agricultural workers have been pushed with their eyes after they touched a cow that was infected with the virus and then developed red eyes, which is the most common of their symptoms. Someone who came in contact with a chicken in the back garden or a wild bird may have inhaled the virus and therefore became sicker.
