Abu Dhabi: The UAE on Friday banned imports of all kinds of wild and domesticated birds and pets and their related products and droppings from Fion town in Denmark where cases of bird flu were reported.
A ministerial resolution issued by Dr. Mohammad Saeed Al Kindi, Minister of Environment and Water, demanded the ministry's animal wealth department to coordinate efforts with other authorities concerned to put the ban in place.
The minister was acting upon information from the World Animal Health Organisation about the appearance of the bird flu in the Danish town.
In his resolution, the minister said the ban would be enforced to prevent spread of any epidemic and communicable diseases in the country and to ensure health safety of the public and animal wealth.
