PA. EXPECTED TO GIVE QUARANTINE ORDER FOR POULTRY SHOWS

Pennsylvania authorities are giving advance notice to the state county fair association that poultry likely won’t be part of state fairs this year. A state agriculture department spokeswoman says they’ll be issuing a quarantine order and public announcement about poultry shows on Saturday, April 16. The exhibits are being excluded because of the threat of avian flu.  Several states in the mid-Atlantic have taken similar steps.
