Poland bans poultry imports from Romania and Turkey

Poland has banned poultry imports from Romania and Turkey amid reports that avian flu had been detected in the two countries.
Poland’s chief veterinarian Krzysztof Jazdzewki said a crisis team is to meet on Monday to discuss reports that the strain of the bird flu virus transmissible to humans had been detected in Romania, which due to its geographical closeness to Poland, ‘would be extremely dangerous’. Authorities in Romania and Turkey have blamed the appearance of the virus on migratory birds from Russia, where outbreaks were reported earlier in the year in Siberia.
