Health authorities say the threat of infection for people remained low even amid the spread of H5N1 virus among birds and cattle nationally.

Meanwhile, officials in New Jersey have also confirmed that bird flu has been detected in a number of outdoor cats in Hunterdon County, and Wild Coast Raw food has been recalled following cases of bird flu in Oregon and Washington as part of the ongoing outbreak.

Two cats in separate New York City households have tested positive for bird flu, the city health department says.
