HOLTON, England - Britain gassed tens of thousands of turkeys and extended restrictions on the movement of poultry on Sunday to try to prevent the spread of deadly bird flu from a farm in eastern England.

The discovery of the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain of avian flu on a farm run by Europes largest turkey producer surprised experts and raised questions about how the virus had been introduced into a sealed shed.

However, the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) expressed optimism on Sunday that the virus had been confined to the Bernard Matthews farm near Lowestoft in the county of Suffolk.

What was your source?

I have not seen that story. Two people have been tested so far. A vet who is involved in the clean up and a farm worker. No deaths reported so far.
