A number of measures have been triggered to prevent a further spread of the virus. Poultry farmers across the country will have to keep their animals inside, with exceptions only being made for farms with security fences in place.
Every suspicious death will have to be communicated to the respective authorities. Furthermore, people are advised to not touch a dead bird if they encounter one in nature, but rather alert the Veterinary Inspection.
People can continue consuming eggs and poultry without hesitation, the ministerial press release also underlines.
