The emergency response to the bird flu has ended, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on July 7.
“As reports of animal infections with avian influenza A(H5N1) virus (“H5N1 bird flu”) have declined and no human cases have been reported since February 2025, on July 2, 2025, CDC’s H5N1 emergency bird flu response was deactivated to transition back to regular program activity,” a spokesperson for the agency told news outlets in a statement.
