Case of bird flu detected in Moravia

A case of bird flu was discovered at a goose farm near Hodonín, in southern Moravia, on Tuesday. The region’s veterinarian authority said some of the birds were infected with the less dangerous H7 strain, and not the deadly H5N1. Around 3,000 geese and more than 350 ducks will be put down by the authorities to prevent the spread of the infection.
