Bird flu was diagnosed on a poultry farm in Kiel-Windeweer (municipality of Midden-Groningen, province of Groningen). It is probably a highly pathogenic variant. To prevent the virus from spreading, the approximately 102,150 broilers at the location are culled by the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA). There are no other poultry farms in the 1-kilometre zone around the infected farm. There is 1 other poultry farm in the 3-kilometre zone around the infected farm. This company will be screened for bird flu by the NVWA. Six other poultry farms are located in the 10-kilometre zone around the infected farm. In this area there is now a confinement obligation, a screening obligation, and a transport ban.
