New measures due to bird flu in Hungary

After Bács-Kiskun and Csongrád counties, the National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih) also ordered the screening of not yet restricted poultry flocks in the areas of Békés county. The primary objective of the measure is to prevent the spread of the disease.

On March 27, 2020, Nébih ordered the screening of poultry flocks in the non-restricted areas of Bács-Kiskun and Csongrád counties in order to prevent the spread of the bird flu virus, Nébih writes. Given that the disease has since appeared in Békés County, the measure has also entered into force in the non-restricted areas of this county as of 4 May.
