Bird flu has been identified at two goose farms in Bács-Kiskun County, in southern Hungary, food safety authority Nebih said on Friday.

Protection and surveillance zones were established after the virus subtype H5N1 was detected at the farms, Nébih said, adding that more than 1,200 geese were being destroyed. An order for poultry to be kept indoors is in effect in Hungary’s seven high-risk counties.
