Poland: Poland Declares Freedom from HPAI

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

On August 13, 2020, Poland’s Chief Veterinary Officer (CVO) declared Poland as free of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) following three months with no HPAI detections. 35 cases of HPAI were detected in Poland from December 31, 2019 to April 1, 2020. This led some export markets outside of the European Union (EU) to ban of Polish poultry imports, resulting in an 11 percent drop in poultry exports during the first five months of 2020. Poland is not currently eligible to export poultry meat to the United States.
