OLYMPIA, Wash. — The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) has established a second quarantine zone in Okanogan County, covering an area of roughly six miles around a site in Oroville where avian influenza was confirmed in a flock of mixed poultry and other birds.
The quarantine restricts the movement of eggs, poultry or poultry products out of the identified zone with exemptions made for operations that obtain special permits and meet specific criteria.
WSDA received test results on Saturday, Jan. 31, that found the flock was infected with the avian influenza virus, though additional tests will be needed to identify. . .
