niman Posted April 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 CURRENT SITUATION On April 18, a commercial duck flock in Elkhart County has tested presumptive-positive for the H5N1 avian influenza virus. The flock, known as Elkhart3, has an estimated 6,500 ducks (more information to come as the situation develops). Elkhart3 is in close proximity to another quarantined site, so the new 10-km control area circle extends to include only one more additional flock. Therefore, all flock owners have been notified. This control area extends slightly into LaGrange County and across the Michigan state line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
