According to the announcement of the Government Gazette dated 6 June 2022, the suspension for importation of live poultry and poultry carcasses from Poland since 7 June 2022 has expired on 4 September 2022. However, the WOAH has reported a continued outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in the area of Poland. Therefore, it is necessary for Thailand to prevent the entry of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) disease into the country. By the virtue of Animal Epidemics Act B.E. 2558 (2015), the importation of live poultry and poultry carcasses from Poland is temporarily suspended for a period of 90 days since 5 September 2022 onward in the Thai Royal Gazette.
