Two more cases of bird flu found among poultry
BBCA further two cases of bird flu have been found in commercial premises, bringing total recent cases in Norfolk to six.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said the H5N1 virus had been confirmed in captive birds at two sites near Attleborough and Gayton.
Two monitoring control zones of 3km (1.8-mile) and 10 km (6.2-mile) radius have been put in place around the premises and all birds on the sites would be humanely culled.
On Monday, the virus was confirmed in captive birds at a premises near Cranworth, close to Watton, while earlier in the month three other cases were confirmed in mid Norfolk - two in Watton, and another 16km (10 miles) away in Dereham.
On Friday, Defra announced Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire and parts of Yorkshire had been made subject to an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ), to mitigate the risk of further outbreaks.
It is now a legal requirement for all bird keepers in the areas to "mitigate the risk of further outbreaks of the disease", it said.
The UK Health Security Agency says bird flu is "primarily a disease of birds" and the risk to the general public is very low.
