Britain's Christians & Church Clergy Receive Briefing on Bird Flu Outbreak
Britain’s first case of the virus was officially announced last Thursday, after the wild swan was discovered at a harbour in Cellardyke, 450 miles north of London.
As a precautionary measure, the British government have set up restrictions on the movement of poultry. However, fears of a widespread outbreak of bird flu across Britain were receding last night as the infected swan remained the only confirmed case even though more than 1,100 birds have been examined since the end of February.
