Avian influenza tests negative in Finland

Finland Health officials stated that the two dead swans found in Hanko and the Aland Islands on Wednesday, have tested negative for the avian influenza virus.

Finland authorities are also stating that unless ten or more dead birds are found in an area, they will not be testing for the avian influenza virus. However Professor Liisa Sihvonen of EELA says that if five or more birds are found dead, local veterinary officials should be contacted.
