Currently, there are 10 outbreaks nationwide in 9 provinces and cities with CGC outbreak, but less than 21 days.

    Assessment of the risk of CGC epidemic spreading and occurring on a large scale is very high. The total number of poultry is now very large, reaching nearly 500 million, high density of breeding. The rate of poultry vaccinated against influenza is low, especially for small poultry flocks in livestock households. The results of active surveillance sampling showed that the prevalence of influenza A / H5N1 and A / H5N6 viruses was very high, especially where the prevalence rate was over 13% (in 100 tested poultry samples, there were 13 samples. positive for influenza virus). The weather conditions change adversely, with heavy rainfall and cold change in the northern provinces. Demand for transportation and consumption in the last months of the year increases highly and small scale slaughtering is still very popular.
