California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency on Wednesday .

Gov. Newsom described the measure as “targeted action” to give government agencies the resources they need to respond quickly.

61 people in the U.S. have been confirmed with the virus, most of them either infected via dairy herds or commercial poultry flocks.

The USDA has issued a federal order requiring that raw, unpasteurized milk be collected and given to the USDA upon request.

The emergency declaration frees up more funds to provide local agencies with the means to hire additional staff and expand testing and other resources to farms.

Bright is among those who’ve long worried that the highly pathogenic virus would make the jump to human transmission.
