Bird flu warning: Leipzig district bans poultry markets!
Bird flu continues to make waves in the Leipzig region. How stern.de reports, the Leipzig district has banned all poultry markets and bird exchanges until further notice. This happened due to the ongoing high risk posed by the bird flu virus. The situation is classified as dynamic, meaning health authorities must be constantly on alert.
A particular trigger for the measures is the epidemic in the neighboring district of North Saxony. Avian influenza was detected here in a dead seagull and a crane. Although there is currently no nationwide obligation to have stables in Northern Saxony, poultry farmers are strongly advised to house their animals in stables for protection. Thousands of animals have already been killed to protect animals and contain the virus.
