Uganda on Sunday activated an emergency plan for epidemics control after detecting the first outbreak of a deadly bird flu that hit both wild and domestic birds in different locations.
Mr Vincent Ssempijja, the Agriculture minister, said specimens taken from white-winged tern birds that died on Lake Victoria shores, “unfortunately have turned positive to the very serious disease; the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI)”.
