Did bird flu ever go away?
‘Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 was confirmed on 28 September 2022 in commercial poultry, at a premises near Selby, Selby, North Yorkshire. A 3km Protection Zone and 10km Surveillance Zone were put in place around the premises.’ This is the latest reported incident in an outbreak of bird flu that doesn’t really seem to have gone away, giving poultry farmers across the UK good reason to double down on biosecurity measures to keep their flocks safe this autumn.
