Overview
- A 5‑kilometer confinement order was imposed around the Speichersee in Ebersberg after H5N1 was confirmed in dead waterbirds, affecting 36 holdings as THW plans further carcass recovery and the public is asked to avoid the area.
- Around 80 birds were culled at a sanctuary in Germering after confirmations in geese and chickens, with authorities reporting no need for additional restriction zones in that case.
- In Saxony’s Meißen district, about 8,000 birds were killed at a farm in Ebersbach/Lauterbach, with 3‑kilometer protection and 10‑kilometer surveillance zones set and a countywide stall order introduced with limited exemptions for small flocks outside the zones.
- Bavaria’s Straubing‑Bogen district ordered a 10‑kilometer stall and movement zone after an outbreak in Geiselhöring, where 24 chickens died and the remaining 69 were culled following H5N1 confirmation.
- Wild‑bird detections expanded with a confirmed H5N1 swan at Lake Constance and a goose near Witten, as agencies reiterate low risk to the general public and advise avoiding carcasses, reporting finds, and keeping pets away.
