LONDON: British officials on Monday confirmed an outbreak of bird flu in turkeys on a farm in eastern England.
The department said the turkeys had tested positive for the H5 strain of the disease. It was not yet known whether it was the deadly H5NI strain, which has killed dozens of people around the world.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said a 3 kilometer (2 mile) protection zone had been set up around a farm in Diss, northeast of London, and all birds on the premises would be slaughtered.
