The source of the infection has not yet been identified, officials said. Viet Nam has killed more than 150,000 birds since the beginning of the year in several outbreaks of H5N6 and H5N1 avian influenza. There are 460 million poultry in the country, according to data released in 2019, but in some provinces, only 20% of birds have been vaccinated against the virus.
However, this new outbreak poses risks not only to the Vietnamese poultry industry, but also to neighboring Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. Recently, outbreaks of bird flu have been reported in Russia, Australia and the Philippines.
