Like the French population at the start of the Covid-19 crisis, French poultry will have to confine themselves to avoid contamination from another virus.
The risk relating to avian flu has risen to "high" in metropolitan France due to the increase in cases in neighboring countries, according to a decree published on Friday in the Official Journal.
This increase in the level of risk implies that all French poultry farmers lock up their animals to avoid contact with migrating birds, potentially carriers of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAI), commonly known as avian influenza.
This is also the case in the Netherlands since last week.
