NYC Poultry Markets Temporarily Shut Down Due to Bird Flu
Governor Kathy Hochul has ordered the temporary closure of poultry markets in New York City, Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk counties. This action follows the confirmation of several bird flu cases during routine inspections across the state.
The closure is a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the highly contagious avian influenza. While the risk to humans is considered low, the governor's office is taking swift action to protect public health and the poultry industry.
Further updates and information regarding the reopening of these markets will be announced by the state.
