Bird flu isn't over in Switzerland. We are not finding cases any more but on the other hand we can be quite sure that the bird flu virus will remain in the wild bird population in Switzerland for years to come ? our guess is about five-20 years.
These are all cases from the Lake Constance area.
We are already prepared in case bird flu does reach Switzerland. Coordination with the European Union is simple because we have a similar approach to the problem.
In the current situation Switzerland will not vaccinate poultry.
Our goal was that poultry would not get infected by bird flu and we were successful in this.
At the moment Switzerland's goal is protecting its poultry from bird flu.
