Following the detection of the H5N1 avian influenza virus in three dead birds collected in Yuen Long within 10 days, the outdoor section of the Hong Kong Wetland Park (HKWP), which is within a radius of 3 kilometres from where the dead birds were found, will be temporarily closed to visitors for 21 days starting tomorrow (February 15) as a precautionary measure, a spokesman for the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) announced today (February 14). The AFCD will monitor the situation closely and review the closure period as necessary.
