Territorial restrictions due to avian influenza were abolished in Hungary with the lifting of surveillance districts. Domestic and EU transport from Bács-Kiskun and Csongrád-Csanád counties can now proceed without disturbance if the conditions prescribed by EU and domestic legislation are met. However, deliveries to third countries that currently apply import bans may still not begin, and this may take place at the earliest after the exemption according to the relevant regulations of the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) is regained. Commercial information about third countries can be found on the thematic subpage of Nébih.

Due to the favorable epidemiological situation, the national chief veterinarian amended the temporary rules for the introduction and movement of poultry

The detailed rules are also available on the thematic subpage. Despite the positive changes, Nébih still draws the attention of poultry farmers to the fact that the risk of the introduction of the virus and the reappearance of the disease still poses a huge risk, therefore responsible animal husbandry and adherence to epidemiological regulations remain of paramount importance. Information and information related to the bird flu disease are available on the Nébih thematic sub-page.
