Dozens of samples from poultry had been collected after the first outbreak. The results of those are coming out in phases.

We will be testing samples collected for surveillance on the African continent.

An outbreak has been detected. A local poultry farm keeping 46,000 birds was affected, of which 42,000 were infected and 40,000 of those, died.

They [farm owners] have not chemically treated the pit before dumping the birds.

Thirteen new areas have been certified. It has been shown that an area that was looking blank between infected areas is also infected.

A few more birds could be left, but we will kill them off by noon today.
