"On March 17 and 18, some 1,645 chickens died from the virus in Nyaung Hnapin, Hmawbi Township, about 40 km north of Rangoon"
H5N1 outbreaks have now been confirmed in five Rangoon townships in the last three weeks, including Hmawbi, North Okkalapa, Hlaing Thayar, Mayangon and Mingaladon. Around 40,000 birds have been culled to stamp out the virus.
Poultry within a 1km radius are being culled and a transport ban is being enforced within a 6km radius.
