All of France placed on ‘high risk’ restrictions over bird flu
France widened “high risk” restrictions to the entire country after the detection of several cases of the highly pathogenic H5N8 avian flu strain in farms in southwest France and in wild ducks in northern France, the farm ministry said on Tuesday.
The decision was also motivated by the “rapid change in the… situation in France and in several European countries”, the statement said.

The ministry had already imposed tighter restrictions on several zones mostly located in humid areas last month in an effort to avoid contamination.
