Authorities confirm bird flu case in southern Belgium

Belgian health authorities said they confirmed a case of bird flu in southern Belgium concerning the highly contagious H5N8 virus, and established a 3 kilometer perimeter around the area where the transport of birds and eggs was forbidden.

Belgium said it would not take new measures for the whole of the country, but kept a ban on selling live birds
