Joburg City Parks confirms outbreak of bird flu
The Star / 4 October 2017, 12:00pm / ANNA COX

Johannesburg - Avian influenza has hit Johannesburg with 598 carcasses of birds having been recovered from the City of Joburg facilities at Westdene Dam, Emmarentia Dam, Zoo Lake and and Joburg Zoo.

Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo (JCPZ) has confirmed that some of its facilities have been affected by the outbreak that was first detected in Limpopo and which has been spread by the seasonal migration of birds.

JCPZ spokesperson Jenny Moodley said that from September 1 to date, the facility has recovered over 548 carcasses and ?most have tested positive for the strain of Avian Influenza that is not contagious to humans.?

All the dead birds are being incinerated and are being handled as per strict health and safety regulations, she said...
