設立保護區和監測區後，安格斯發現禽流感病例

根據蘇格蘭政府網站上發布的聲明，該處所位於 Kirriemuir Kingoldrum 的 Ascreavie House 上方。

A case of bird flu has been detected at a premises near Kirriemuir, Angus, the Scottish Government has confirmed.

蘇格蘭政府證實，安格斯基里繆爾附近的一處場所發現了一例禽流感病例。

It marks the first case of the avian illness in the country since the summer of 2023, when almost all of the 32,000 infected chickens found on one Aberdeenshire farm had to be culled.

這是該國自 2023 年夏季以來首例禽類疾病病例，當時阿伯丁郡一個農場發現的 32,000 只受感染雞幾乎全部被撲殺。

Following the confirmation on Friday night, a 3km protection zone and a 10km surveillance zone have been put in place around the affected premises.

週五晚上確認後，受影響場所周圍設立了 3 公里的保護區和 10 公里的監視區。

The government said the move will prevent any further spread of the disease.

政府表示，此舉將防止疾病進一步傳播。

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) was reported at the premises, according to a declaration published on the Scottish Government’s website.

根據蘇格蘭政府網站上發布的聲明，該場所報告了高致病性禽流感（HPAI）。

The declaration states that Sheila Voas, the Chief Veterinary Officer (Scotland), formed the opinion that HPAI exists, or has existed within the previous 56 days, on the premises and has informed the Scottish Ministers of that conclusion.

聲明指出，蘇格蘭首席獸醫官 Sheila Voas 認為該場所存在或在過去 56 天內已經存在高致病性禽流感，並將這一結論通知了蘇格蘭部長。

The announcement was made official at 8.15pm on Friday, according to the declaration.

根據聲明，該公告於週五晚上 8 點 15 分正式發布。

It adds: “The premises is Over Ascreavie House, Kingoldrum, Kirriemuir.

它補充說：「該處所位於 Kirriemuir Kingoldrum 的 Ascreavie House 上方。

“The Chief Veterinary Officer (Scotland) has formed the opinion that highly pathogenic avian influenza exists, or has in the previous 56 days existed, on premises and has informed the Scottish Ministers of that conclusion.”

「首席獸醫官（蘇格蘭）已得出結論，認為場所內存在或在過去 56 天內存在高致病性禽流感，並將這一結論通知蘇格蘭部長。”

During the last outbreak of bird flu in Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen City Council said it had collected around 100 dead birds from the city’s beach in a two-week period.

阿伯丁郡上次爆發禽流感期間，阿伯丁市議會表示，兩週內已從該市海灘收集了約 100 隻死鳥。

Aberdeenshire Council also reported that upwards of 300 dead birds were found on its beaches at the same time.

阿伯丁郡議會還報告稱，其海灘上同時發現了超過 300 隻死鳥。

The Scottish Government noted that the risk to the public is “very low”, even for those who face prolonged exposure to infected birds.

蘇格蘭政府指出，即使對於那些長期接觸受感染鳥類的人來說，公眾面臨的風險「非常低」。

A spokesperson said: “We can confirm a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 has been detected at a premises near Kirriemuir, Angus. This is the first case in Scotland since 2023.

發言人表示：「我們可以確認在安格斯基里繆爾附近的一處場所發現了一例高致病性禽流感（HPAI）H5N1病例。這是蘇格蘭自 2023 年以來的首例病例。

“A 3km Protection Zone and 10km Surveillance Zone have been placed around the infected premises, meaning the application of movement restrictions within these zones, such as poultry, carcases, eggs, used poultry litter and manure, to prevent any further spread of disease.

「在受感染的場所周圍設置了3公里的保護區和10公里的監視區，這意味著在這些區域內對家禽、屠體、雞蛋、用過的家禽墊料和糞便等進行移動限制，以防止疾病進一步傳播。

“Keepers of poultry and other captive birds in Scotland are advised to remain vigilant for signs of the disease and reminded they have a legal requirement to immediately report any suspicion of disease in Scotland to the local Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) Field Services Office.

「建議蘇格蘭家禽和其他圈養鳥類的飼養者對疾病跡象保持警惕，並提醒他們根據法律要求立即向當地動植物衛生局（APHA）現場服務辦公室報告蘇格蘭任何可疑疾病。

“The risk to the general public’s health from avian influenza is still very low and is considered low for people with intensive exposure to infected birds. Food Standards Scotland advises that avian influenzas pose a very low food safety risk for consumers.”

「禽流感對公眾健康的風險仍然非常低，對於經常接觸受感染鳥類的人來說，風險也被認為很低。蘇格蘭食品標準建議禽流感對消費者造成的食品安全風險非常低。
