🗣 France Sounds the Alarm: Bird Flu Risk Level Raised
⏺ France has elevated its bird flu risk level to 'moderate' from 'negligible' due to rising cases in neighbouring countries. This change triggers enhanced security measures around poultry farms as migratory birds could spread the virus.
⏺ France has already reported four outbreaks since summer and has initiated a second vaccination campaign for farm ducks to combat the highly pathogenic avian influenza.
