Although avian flu was recently detected in a domestic poultry flock in CBS, the outbreak that ravaged wild seabird populations off the coast of Newfoundland a couple of years ago appears to have run its course.
Environment and Climate Change Canada says since January, only four wild bird carcasses were reported and tested in Newfoundland, and of those, only one tested positive for bird flu.
Environment says agencies are continuing to monitor the situation through surveillance and testing.
Sick or dead birds found in Newfoundland and Labrador should be reported to the provincial department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture.
