The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has lifted its quarantine zone in the Niagara area stretching from Wainfleet to St. Ann’s.
It was put under quarantine March 16 because highly-pathogenic avian influenza broke out in a commercial flock there.
There are 53 premises in Canada recently infected, seven of them in Ontario, 20 in Quebec, 11 in Alberta and eight in British Columbia.
Since the first outbreaks there are 269 premises that have had outbreaks, 40 of them in Ontario. 96 in British Columbia, 50 in Alberta and 27 in Quebec.
A total of 7,665,000 birds have been impacted, reports the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
