Governor Josh Shapiro says his administration is in “crisis mode” as an avian flu outbreak continues to spread in the Commonwealth. More than seven-point-six-million-birds have died across Pennsylvania following exposure, many of them in Lancaster County. Shapiro made the statement during a roundtable in Lancaster yesterday with farmers and agricultural leaders in the area. He said they plan to distribute close to 60-million-dollars through the state’s Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Recovery Fund, which was created to help poultry producers recover from devastating losses due to bird flu.
