The current wave of bird flu has apparently not yet reached Saxony. According to the Ministry of Health, there are currently no cases in the state. Nevertheless, Health Minister Petra Köpping urged poultry farmers to be extremely vigilant and comply with strict hygiene measures.
Crisis structures are prepared
"The consequences of an outbreak are serious and we are doing everything we can to prevent the disease from spreading," said Köpping according to the press release. We are dependent on support for this. "Anyone who observes birds that may be sick or finds animals that have already died should not touch them under any circumstances, but should report them to the local food monitoring and veterinary office." The crisis structures are prepared for a possible outbreak in Saxony.
