The zoo in Berlin, the capital of Germany, was closed after the bird flu case emerged.
In the statement made by the Berlin Zoo, it was stated that bird flu has been frequently encountered in Europe for several years, so bird flu tests were carried out on birds that died in the zoo in Berlin.
In this context, it was stated in the statement that bird flu was detected in the hammer-headed stork that died on November 13, and after this was confirmed by the laboratory, precautions were taken at the zoo.
CLOSED TO VISIT
In the statement, it was shared that quarantine has begun for birds and the zoo is closed to visitors.
