                  Ministry of Agriculture: Another case of bird flu was discovered at a turkey farm for fattening at Kibbutz Tzora near Beit Shemesh

                  13/12/2020

                  It is estimated that the cause of infection in all the cases discovered so far is migratory birds

                  The Ministry of Agriculture has completed the treatment of all influenza centers that have been so far. The ministry also emphasizes that the bird flu strain found in all previous cases has not been diagnosed in humans so far



                  The Ministry of Agriculture updates that in the last day, another chicken coop was found to be sick with bird flu. This is a turkey coop for fattening in Kibbutz Tzora.
