Sevastopol's State Emergency Anti-Epidemic Commission has decided to declare the Sevastopol area a potentially dangerous zone because of detection of bird flu disease in wild birds found in the area, said a spokeswoman for Sevastopol's City State Administration Alla Shcherbakova.

She said the decision was made after 5 dead birds were found in the city's area - three crows and a gull on the territory of one of the city's kindergartens and a jay in Kamyshovaya Bay. Laboratory tests have proved that all the birds died of the bird flu.

Nevertheless, Ms. Shcherbakova said that no bird flu cases were registered in the area among poultry. It is recommended to local inhabitants who own the poultry to keep it indoors to exclude the contacts with wild birds.
