France has eased restrictions to curb the impact of avian influenza as there have been no new cases of the virus detected on farms in the country since March 14. Poultry farmers are now allowed to let birds outdoors under certain conditions and must keep them away from areas where wildlife are active. However, the Ministry of Agriculture encourages producers to continue implementing biosecurity measures and to remain vigilant as cases in wildlife and migrating birds have still been detected.
