New York temporarily shutters bird markets after seven cases of avian flu are detected in NYC

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — New York on Friday ordered a weeklong shutdown of all live bird markets in New York City, Westchester and Long Island after seven cases of avian flu were detected at bird markets in the city. The order came after seven cases of bird flu were found in poultry during routine inspections of live bird markets in the New York City boroughs of the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. The agency said there have been 67 confirmed cases of bird flu in humans in the U.S., with illnesses mild and mostly detected among farmworkers who were exposed to sick poultry or daily cows. In New York, live bird markets where the virus was detected have to dispose of all poultry in a sanitary manner, according to the order.
