Overview
- An immediate 10-kilometer zone now bans transport of birds, eggs, manure and used bedding around the infected site in Deurne.
- Three farms in the 1-kilometer ring and seven in the 3-kilometer ring will be screened, followed by 10 days of cadaver sampling and two weeks of intensified oversight.
- The NVWA has opened a tracer investigation into recent movements of animals, eggs and materials to determine potential spread and possible additional measures.
- Within 10 kilometers of the Deurne farm lie 46 poultry businesses, some already under restrictions after infections reported in Ysselsteyn and Veulen.
- The confirmation adds to a regional cluster this month, while nationwide rules remain in force, including a housing order for commercial flocks and a ban on bird events.
