Bird Flu: Sulby "Protection Zone" merged with the 'Surveillance Zone'

Mon, 14 Feb 2022

A bird flu ‘Protection Zone’ in Sulby has now been merged to form part of the all-Island ‘Surveillance Zone’.

The Manx Government says it follows the completion of disease control measures including cleaning and disinfection of the premises and a 21-day observation and monitoring of the premises and other kept birds within the zone, which did not find any signs of the disease spreading.

If there are no further cases or suspected cases of avian influenza the surveillance zone should be lifted on 20 February.
