British officials lift bird flu restrictions

British officials have lifted some bird flu restrictions implemented after the discovery of a dead swan found in Scotland that tested positive for the H5N1 virus on April 5. Restrictions that have been lifted include limits on the movement of poultry and eggs in eastern Scotland, since no outbreaks have been found since the discovery of the infected swan. The three-kilometer protection zone established has also been lifted; however, a 10-kilometer control zone that prevents the movement of poultry and birds will remain until May 1.
