Overview
- The Ministry of Agriculture ordered the NVWA to depopulate the infected site, totaling about 39,000 birds.
- A transport ban within 10 kilometers blocks movements of poultry, hatching and table eggs, manure, and used litter from locations with birds.
- One holding within 1 kilometer will be sampled and intensively monitored for 14 days, and one farm in the 3‑kilometer zone will be screened by the NVWA.
- Tracing investigations are underway to identify risky contacts, with potential extra sampling or temporary blocking of contact farms if needed.
- National housing and tightened visitor restrictions for bird accommodations remain in force, and movements of non‑avian animals are permitted only under strict hygiene protocols.
