Suspicion was raised by the high death rate in the colony of 500 tame geese located in the Szank settlement in the Bács-Kiskun county. The Nébih laboratory finally confirmed the presence of the H5N1 subtype of the virus. Animal health specialists immediately started to liquidate the affected herd. Furthermore, a 3 km radius protection zone and a 10 km radius observation zone were designated around the given farm.
