The confirmation followed testing by the veterinary inspection team from nearby Đurđevac, reacting swiftly after the flu was suspected in the region. In response to the confirmed cases, Molve officials have adhered to the guidance of the Croatian Ministry of Agriculture, urging residents to follow the officially outlined preventative measures aimed at curbing the spread of the avian influenza.

Residents have been strongly advised to strictly comply with the precautionary directives, which include restrictions on certain activities to mitigate risks associated with the virus’s transmission to other birds and potentially humans. The municipal authorities are working closely with the Ministry to manage the situation effectively.

The Ministry of Agriculture has laid out specific measures for preventing outbreaks, which include regulated movement of poultry and maintaining stringent biosecurity measures on farms. Meanwhile, municipal workers are set to safely remove any dead birds discovered around the local areas, such as the lake Čingi-Lingi.

This incident adds to the growing list of localized outbreaks in Europe, where migratory birds are often blamed for the transference of avian diseases across regions. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, reassuring residents that all necessary steps are being taken to protect both public health and the local poultry industry.

Residents are urged to stay informed through official communications from the local government and the ministries involved, ensuring that any further advice or changes in recommendations are promptly enacted to combat this outbreak.
