The Hong Kong food safety
authority (CFS) has blocked the importation of chicken and eggs
from Padua in relation to a notification from the World
Organization for Animal Health of an outbreak of avian flu, the
Xinhua news agency reported on Monday. The outbreak at a goose
farm in the province of Padua last week led Veneto Governor Luca
Zaia to sign an order for the cull of 11,000 animals, regional
sources said.
