The Health department pressed the Rapid Response Teams into action soon after mass deaths of chickens at a poultry farms in Pipili were reported. A team of veterinary doctors collected samples of the sick chickens and sent them for testing to Vellore.

Meanwhile, Odisha Health Director Bijay Mohapatra said on Monday that bird flu was not new and they have already taken preventive measures. “Our aim is to sanitise the area where there has been infection and the process has already started. As it is a viral infection, we are focusing on detection through surveillance,” said Mohapatra.
