In the meantime 15 federal states are affected by avian influenza. Around the turn of the year the animal plague broke out in larger domestic poultry stocks in Lower Saxony. The animals had to be killed in accordance with the requirements of the Avian Influenza Regulation. The pathogen is also rampant in other countries of Europe: in Poland, Hungary, France and the Netherlands, it has erupted in numerous domestic poultry holdings. For the first time, proof was also made in Slovakia.

The police had already blocked the access to the courtyard, which was the first to be affected. At the same time, the fire brigade train had been placed in danger of the Kremlin fire brigade association Steinburg, in order to erect a deconterminal sluice at the entrance to the farm. All vehicles that drive to the site would have a disinfecting barrier. In order to protect the animals from being carried over, third parties are prohibited from entering the site. The ministry and district councilor Torsten Wendt urgently appeal to it.
