Braunschweig / Peine (dpa / lni) - A gray goose infected with bird flu has been found dead in the Peine district.
The city of Braunschweig announced on Friday that a reference study had confirmed the H5N8 virus.
Since a spread of the virus cannot be ruled out, some parts of Braunschweig are required to be stabled.
A general decree will come into force on Tuesday.
The city administration appealed to the poultry farmers affected to implement the necessary measures immediately.
Avian influenza is a highly contagious and notifiable viral disease in poultry and other bird species.
The virus has appeared in German coastal countries since November.
