A large number of birds were found to have died abnormally at the Hualien Creek estuary, which was horrific. The county government sent the bird autopsy to the Animal Health Laboratory of the Agricultural Committee for inspection, and it was confirmed to be the H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus strain, which was the first time a wild bird in Hualien was found. The Agriculture Department said that there is no doubt that H5N1 can infect people, and it has now gone to the sea for environmental disinfection. The public is asked not to touch the bird carcasses when they find them, and bird friends are also invited to inform each other to assist in monitoring.
The Hualien Creek estuary is listed as an important national wetland. Unexpectedly, on the 23rd of this month, a large number of bird carcasses were seen on the sand dune beach of the estuary. The number was about 20. The people successively notified the county government. Bird lovers who are aware of the difference and also worry about infectious diseases or artificial poisoning, please notify the relevant units of the Wild Bird Association...
