Bird Flu Situation Improves in Luxembourg

Luxembourg has started easing several restrictions that were put in place to control the spread of avian influenza, as the situation shows clear improvement. Authorities confirmed that the outbreak has stabilized, allowing some normal activities involving poultry to resume.

Earlier this year, strict preventive measures were introduced after cases of bird flu were detected in poultry and wild birds. These included keeping birds indoors and banning markets, fairs, and exhibitions involving poultry to limit the spread of the disease.

With the risk now reduced, poultry can once again be kept outdoors, and public events involving birds are being allowed again. However, officials are still urging caution, especially when it comes to avoiding contact between domestic poultry and wild birds, which remain a potential source of infection.

Experts note that avian influenza continues to affect parts of Europe, influencing both farming practices and food supply chains. Despite this, Luxembourg authorities say the current situation is under control and continue to monitor it closely.
