OLYMPIA, Wash. — The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) has lifted two avian influenza quarantines that had been in place in parts of Okanogan County, weeks after the emergency rules were first adopted to enact them and restrict the movement of eggs, poultry or poultry products in these restricted zones.
The first quarantine was established on Jan. 29 in Riverside and the second was set Feb. 2 in Oroville. WSDA has determined that the avian influenza detected in these two Okanogan County flocks does not appear to have spread beyond those two sites. Both flocks were euthanized following the detection. . .
