Two new cases of bird flu have been detected in black-headed gulls in Seine-et-Marne, the prefecture said in a statement on Wednesday . It was in Saint-Pierre-lès-Nemours and Bailly-Romainvilliers that the animals were found dead in the wild on May 12.
Scope over 33 municipalities
The prefecture has set up two "temporary control zones" of 5 km around the two municipalities concerned. 18 around Bailly-Romainvilliers and 15 others around Saint-Pierre-lès-Nemours.
These measures require all breeders and anyone with poultry to keep them inside buildings. A system for disinfection of vehicles and people entering and leaving must be put in place.
These measures may be lifted after 21 days if no new case of avian flu is detected in the two temporary control zones of the department.
First cases in two months
The prefecture of Seine-et-Marne deplores these new cases of avian flu "while the health situation seemed clearly improving". For two months, no case of bird flu had been detected in the department.
The level of risk had been lowered since the end of April from "high" to "moderate" by decision of the Minister of Agriculture.
