A protection zone has been set up after a second case of bird flu was found in the same area of Wales. Welsh Government has confirmed a case of the H5N1 avian influenza has been found in poultry in Anglesey.
Interim deputy chief veterinary officer for Wales Gosia Siwonia, confirmed the case - the second on Anglesey this month - on Sunday night just a week after one was discovered at another site on the island. That was the first confirmed case of avian influenza in Wales since October 1.
A 3km protection zone and 10km surveillance zone have been declared around the infected premises to limit the risk of disease spread. Within these zones, bird movements and gatherings are restricted and all holdings that keep birds must be declared. The measures are stricter in the 3km protection zone.
