The last of the Hungarian counties where restrictions were lifted on May 24 was Bács-Kiskun. It will take until August 24 for Hungary to be declared fully free of avian influenza, when poultry exports to non-EU countries could restart.
On May 29, Hungaryʼs chief veterinarian said in a decree that poultry no longer needed to be kept indoors, but feeding and watering must still take place inside.
By February around 3.2 million birds had been culled because of the outbreak.
