Laboratory results of samples taken from the flock have identified the strain as highly pathogenic in poultry. In order to limit the further spread of disease, appropriate restrictions have been imposed on the premises.
A Protection Zone (PZ) of 3 km and a Surveillance Zone (SZ) of 10 km have now been put in place around the infected premises to limit the risk of spread of the disease. Within these zones a range of controls are in place, including restrictions on the movement of poultry, carcasses, eggs, used poultry litter and manure. Legislation for the H5N1 strain require a Restricted Zone (RZ) to also be declared. However, this RZ will also be 10 km and will have the same extent as the PZ and SZ, with no additional measures.

File photo February 02, 2021 THE Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has urged all local government units (LGUs) to ensure that their executive orders (EOs) imposing a ban on the entry of live hogs and other related products are aligned and consistent with national policies and directives.
In a statement, DILG Undersecretary and spokesman Jonathan Malaya said they have monitored LGUs that have been issuing EOs restricting or limiting the entry of pigs, hogs and related items to protect against the spread of the African swine fever (ASF), but this must not impede the flow of cargoes across LGU boundaries.
