At a poultry farm in Kagawa Prefecture, another case of bird flu has been reported, the prefectural government said Sunday, marking the country's second outbreak of avian influenza at a farm this year.
A highly pathogenic strain is thought to be the virus. In the town of Higashikagawa, about 48,000 chickens being raised at the farm will be culled.
Three poultry farms within 3 kilometers of the affected facility were ordered by the prefectural government not to move their chickens and eggs, while nine farms within 3 to 10 kilometers were ordered not to move their chickens and eggs outside the 10-kilometer range.
A bird flu case was confirmed at a separate poultry farm in the Kagawa town of Mitoyo on Thursday, the country's first on a farm in nearly three years. More than 50 kilometres from each other, the two affected farms are located.
No transfer of people or vehicles between them has taken place. “The second outbreak was very regrettable. We’ll take preventive steps as quickly as possible,” Kagawa Gov. Keizo Hamada told reporters.
A highly pathogenic avian influenza virus was discovered last month in wild duck droppings in Monbetsu Town, Hokkaido, said the prefectural government. According to the prefecture, found in the feces, sampled by Hokkaido University on Oct. 24, was the H5N8 subtype virus.

China's State Council announced on Monday. The loading and transport carriers and the inner and outer packaging of the cold chain food are also related items that are also needed to be completely sterilized.

Donald Trump apparently continues to cling to the hope that false claims about alleged election fraud could help him to a second term.
The US news portal Axios claims to have learned details about the planned campaign from several Trump advisors. Accordingly, they want to use obituaries to prove that the votes of the deceased had been counted.
These allegedly massive voices from the dead are a central part of the Trump team's electoral fraud narrative, which was distributed today on Fox News, among others. There is no evidence.

Health Minister Jens Spahn warns against overloading intensive care medicine in view of the age structure in Germany. The Federal Republic is the second oldest country in the world after Japan, said the CDU politician of the "Bild-Zeitung".
"We have 23 million Germans over 60. We are a prosperous country with diseases of civilization: diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity. All risk factors for this virus, as well as for many infectious diseases, by the way."
By definition, 30 to 40 percent of the population belonged to a risk group. "If around two percent of 20,000 newly infected people have to go to intensive care in one day, that's 400 a day. If intensive care treatment and support lasts 15 days on average - that's 6000."
