Finland Adds 5 More Fur Farms To H5N1 Affected List (n=19)




#17,577

For the second time today, and relatively late (after 8 pm Local time), Finland's Food Safety Authority has increased the number of fur farms listed on their H5N1 outbreak page.  

Earlier today, we saw the number increase from 12 to 14, and in the past couple of hours they've added 5 more farms

The newly identified farms raise a mixture of Blue Fox, Raccoon dogs, mixed breed fox, and mink.



So far, there still is no update posted on the WAHIS website, and no press released have been published on these 9 farms identified since last Friday, meaning that we don't have a good handle on the number of animals infected, or susceptible to infection. 

Stay tuned.
