Overview
- County officials reported Wednesday, March 25 that all follow-up tests in the 10-kilometer zone were negative, calling the situation largely contained.
- The outbreak, confirmed March 11 at a poultry farm in Wiedenzhausen in the municipality of Sulzemoos, triggered 3-kilometer protection and 10-kilometer surveillance zones that reach into parts of neighboring Aichach-Friedberg.
- The indoor housing order, known as Aufstallungspflicht, runs through April 13 unless a new case is found.
- Response teams inspected about 400 poultry holdings and set up a logistics and disinfection site in Hebertshausen with support from the fire service and the THW relief agency.
- The county urges strict biosecurity such as changing clothes and shoes before entry and keeping pests down, and it reminds keepers to update contacts and register flocks with the farm office, the veterinary office, and the Bavarian animal-disease fund.
