Outbreak of H5N1 Confirmed In Germany

DateSunday, October 12, 2008 at 5:57PM



Germany has confirmed its first outbreak this year of H5N1. The outbreak occurred on a poultry farm in the German state of Saxony, close to the border with Poland.

All of the poultry on the farm including 800 geese and 550 ducks were destroyed in order to prevent the spread of the deadly disease to other farms.

Areas around the outbreak are being monitored carefully and South Korea announced that it would halt imports from Germany.
