This choice was also motivated by the rapid evolution of the health situation in France and in several European countries and by the dynamics of virus spread. To recall, on the basis of an opinion from ANSES, November 17, the risk level had been raised from "substantial" to "moderate" the entire national territory. In wet areas considered areas at particular risk and are stops on the route of migratory birds, the risk vis-à-vis the avian influenza had been raised to the level "high". Some outbreaks discovered in recent days are outside of these areas. Consequently, today, by ministerial order, the level of risk is now described as "high" on the entire territory. The "high" risk entails the establishment of safeguards implementation strengthened across the country, namely: obligation or containment nets pose to prevent contact with wild birds for all commercial poultry farms (unless otherwise specified by order) and all backyard (no exceptions) banning any gathering of live poultry, and especially live poultry markets. The gatherings can take place under derogation, if such arrangements are implemented to avoid any risk of contamination by wild birds of water (bird wildlife likely to be infected by avian influenza) and between poultry from different farms. prohibiting releases of game birds throughout the national territory. Releases of pheasants and partridges are, themselves, authorized under certain conditions, as is the use of the appellants. Finally, the Ministry recalled that in parallel with these provisions, strict biosecurity measures must be respected in all poultry farms and all persons likely to go into poultry farms nationwide. The management of this new episode of avian influenza depends on the involvement and commitment of all stakeholders. For more information, all the measures and exemptions are detailed in the following address: http://agriculture.gouv.fr/les-mesures-et-indemnisations in Managing the new H5N8 case HPAI H5N8: change in risk across the metropolitan area (PDF, 118.58 KB) Press contacts Press service of Stéphane LE FOLL - Tel: 01 49 55 59 74; Fax: 01 49 55 43 81 [email protected]Press Service of the Department - Tel: 01 49 55 60 11 [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
