I just received an email newsletter from #MDACF regarding #HPAI. It's not looking good...
From the memo [in PDF format]:
"Avian Influenza (HPAI) Notices:
Due to the continuing US outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in domesticated and wild birds and in dairy cattle, Animal Health Officials from all six #NewEnglandStates are united in advising the following for agricultural fairs, competitions, exhibitions, shows, swaps, or other in-person events that encourage the gathering or co-mingling of birds and/or cattle:
Avian species
The New England State Veterinarians strongly discourage the exhibition of domestic and wild waterfowl species and may recommend delaying or canceling domestic fowl or poultry shows. If events are held, best practices for biosecurity should be implemented. Waterfowl exhibitions are currently banned in MA through April 30, 2026, which may be extended.
Bovine species
The New England State Veterinarians strongly discourage the exhibition of any bovines, including both dairy and beef cattle, that have been present in any state at the time that state had a current outbreak of HPAI in cattle.
Bovines that have been shipped from currently affected states in 2026 should not be allowed on the premises of New England fairs or shows. Moving to or from an affected state for any reason will void any New England Fair and Show Season Official Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (OCVIs) that have been issued for such cattle for the remainder of the 2026 season.
The states currently affected by HPAI in cattle can be found on the USDA website..."

#Virginia DWR shares warning after uptick in suspected #BirdFlu cases
By: Web Staff
Posted 2:43 PM, Oct 20, 2025RICHMOND, Va. — "The Virginia Department of #Wildlife Resources (DWR) is asking the public to report specific instances involving dead birds amid an increase in suspected cases of H5N1 highly pathogenic #AvianInfluenza, commonly referred to as bird flu.
The DWR recently received reports of groups of dead #BlackVultures in Virginia, according to a release shared on Monday, and officials believe the deaths are likely linked to bird flu.
The video player is currently playing an ad.DWR data shows since July 2025, there have been 12 suspected bird flu cases, including one in Hampton Roads — a report made in August involving vultures in Franklin.
As officials continue to track cases, they’re asking the public to make a report if they see the following:
- Five or more dead vultures, waterfowl, shorebirds, or seabirds in the same area within five days
- Sick or dead eagles, hawks, owls, or turkeys, excluding ones found on the road
- Ten or more dead wild birds of any species in the same area within five daysReports can be made by calling the Virginia Wildlife Conflict Helpline at 1-855-571-9003 or emailing [email protected].
Additionally, the DWR says anyone who develops flu-like symptoms after handling wild birds should contact their state or local health department.
While the latest reports have been about black vultures, the DWR says other species will likely be impacted by bird flu as well.
Officials are also advising people to avoid picking up or handling sick or dead wild birds. They shared the following advise to prevent spreading bird flu:
'If you must dispose of a dead bird on your property, wear rubber gloves and other personal protective equipment, such as a mask and eye protection. Dead birds should be buried or double bagged and disposed of in a secured outdoor trash can or landfill. After disposing of the carcass, wash hands thoroughly with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, and disinfect clothing, and shoes. If you are frequently in contact with poultry, including backyard flocks, or other domesticated birds, you are encouraged to have separate clothing and shoes for use in the areas where you keep those birds. In addition, keep flocks away from vultures and ponds or similar bodies of water that are also accessible to wild waterfowl.' "

#Indiana reports #AvianInfluenza cases in wild birds in 3 counties
by: Gregg Montgomery
Posted: Oct 18, 2025 / 11:29 AM EST / Updated: Oct 19, 2025 / 10:42 AM ESTINDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — "#BirdFlu has been found in a #WildDuck and #vultures in Indiana, the Department of Natural Resources said in a news release issued Friday.
"The announcement comes after avian influenza was found earlier this month at five commercial #duck farms in northern Indiana.
"Natural Resources says bird flu has been found in a #BlueWingedTeal in Greene County in southwest central Indiana, and in death black vultures in Jefferson County in southern Indiana. The virus is also suspected in similar cases involving dead #BlackVultures in Franklin County in southeast central Indiana.
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services and the state’s department recorded the finds.
"Signs of bird flu in waterfowl and raptors include sudden death; neurological impairment such as lack of coordination and tremors; a lack of energy and appetite; swelling of the head, neck, and eyes; nasal discharge; cough; sneezing; and diarrhea.
"The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention believes the public health risk from bird flu is low, but humans can contract the virus. People are advised to avoid contact with sick #waterfowl and other wildlife. If handling a carcass is necessary, Natural Resources recommended the use of disposable gloves and a mask, and double bagging the carcass, and washing hands thoroughly afterward.
"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recommends that waterfowl hunters process birds in a well-ventilated area or outdoors and wear protective clothing such as a face mask and gloves. Meat harvested from waterfowl should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F before consumption.
"The Indiana Department of Health advises individuals to contact them if they develop symptoms such as eye irritation, fever, cough, or other flu-like symptoms after contact with waterfowl. They can be reached at 317-233-7125 during business hours or 317-233-1325 after hours.
"Because domestic and agricultural animals — including poultry, cattle, and cats — are also susceptible to avian influenza, it is recommended to process and dispose of harvested waterfowl away from these animals and practice good #biosecurity measures."

Question for you:
How do you see workplace safety evolving over the next decade? -
3/
Yet challenges remain. New technologies, remote work, psychosocial risks, and climate change continue to test how we think about safety. The spirit of the OHSA reminds us: protecting workers is never “done”—it’s a living responsibility that must be renewed every day.
I’ve shared some reflections on the history, impact, and future of the OHSA in my latest article.

From the early struggles that led to the Ham Commission, to the introduction of WHMIS and the right to refuse unsafe work, the OHSA has transformed workplaces across the province. It gave workers rights, established shared responsibility, and set the foundation for prevention.
