Following the recent outbreak of H5N1 in Laos, the Government of the Lao PDR has declared the four districts of Sissatanack, Xaisetta, Sikkhotabong and Chanthabouli in Vientiane Capital, AI free.
Following a ban that has been in place since 7th March, residents in these areas of the Laos capital city are now able to eat poultry and eggs again, however the raising of live poultry in the 216 affected villages is still prohibited.
Strict measures will be put in place to ensure the safe import of 'AI free', killed and plucked poultry from other areas of Lao for sale in markets. At this stage, no live poultry is to be allowed in the villages that were affected.
