The Livestock Development Department confirms that all regions of Thailand are free from avian influenza after its third inspection.

Ms Chaweewan, however, has asked for cooperation from fowl raising farmers to keep their farms clean in order to prevent the strain of bird flu.
According to the recent 3rd inspection on June 17th-July 31st , 42,525 out of 48,664 of samples from dead fowls and poultry droppings report negative, while the remaining sample is being tested.
