AIPZ lifted
The AIPZ's (Avian Influenza Prevention Zone) in place across England and Wales were both lifted on 4 July 2023, following the reduction in risk level to 'low' for all poultry.
This announcement follows the lifting of mandatory housing measures on 18 April 2023. A ban on poultry gatherings remains in place.
