In France, official announcements from the Seine-Maritime Prefecture reported the detection of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian flu in a backyard flock in Saint-Sauveur-d’Emmalleville, a commune located between Le Havre and Fécamp. To prevent the spread of the virus to other farms, authorities established regulatory zones defined by a prefectoral decree: a protection zone within a radius of 3 kilometers around the affected premises, and a surveillance zone extending 10 kilometers. These distancing measures are essential for isolating the outbreak. [1]
State services will cull the birds at the affected premises. The local protection and surveillance zones are intended to limit the spread of the virus to other flocks. [1]
