Avian influenza (bird flu) national prevention zone declared
12 November 2020
An Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) has been declared across England, Scotland and Wales to mitigate the risk of the disease spreading. The UK Government has worked closely with Scottish and Welsh Governments to introduce national prevention zones at the same time which means it is a legal requirement for all bird keepers, including those with backyard flocks, to follow strict biosecurity measures until further notice.
