Finland: Finnish Food Authority Adds 5 More Fur Farms To H5N1 List





#17,560

Earlier today I mentioned that Finland's Food Safety Authority was investigating as many as 10 additional fur farms for possible HPAI H5N1 infection.  

While we don't have any official announcement, the Finnish Ruokavirasto website has updated their list (see below), which added 5 new farms today (July 19th).  My thanks to @thijskuiken for retweeting the link.

With hundreds of fur farms still in operation in Finland, these numbers could easily go up from here.  If we get another press statement from Finnish authorities today, I'll update this post.
