According to the announcement in the Government Gazette dated 24 January 2022, the suspension for the importation of live poultry and poultry carcasses from France expired on 24 April 2022. However, the OIE has reported a continued outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in the Department of Nord in France. Therefore, it is necessary for Thailand to prevent the entry of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) disease into the country. By virtue of Animal Epidemics Act B.E. 2558 (2015), the importation of live poultry and poultry carcasses from the Department of Nord in France is temporarily suspended for a period of 90 days from 25 April 2022 onward in the Thai Royal Gazette.
