The Department of Agriculture (DA) has declared Capiz free from bird flu, about seven months after the virus was detected in poultry farms in the province. Capiz is the sixth province that has fully recovered from the impact of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) this year after Rizal, Quezon, South Cotabato, Ilocos Sur and Batangas, according to the DA. The province produced negative test results more than 90 days after the conclusion of cleaning and disinfection operations as well as surveillance activities.
