Governor Mike Braun issued the following statement regarding Avian Flu monitoring in Indiana.
"Hoosiers can rest assured that state government is monitoring the Avian Flu situation. At my direction, there is regular collaboration between the Indiana Board of Animal Health (BOAH), Indiana Department of Agriculture, Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) and I receive regular interagency briefings.
"The Indiana Department of Agriculture, working with the Board of Animal Health, is engaging with poultry producers, whether large scale or hobby farms, to ensure close communication and cooperation. DNR is monitoring the situation as it impacts recreation, hunting, and sports. IDOH is responsible for monitoring potential human exposure to the Avian Flu. I am grateful for the cooperation and leadership of Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith; Cabinet Secretary Suzie Jaworowski, Office of Energy and Natural Resources; and Cabinet Secretary Gloria Sachdev, Office of Health and Family Services, as they coordinate these efforts."
While the health risk to the public is classified as low, Hoosiers and poultry owners who notice sick or dead birds should not touch the bird and instead contact their veterinarian or the Healthy Birds Hotline, 866-536-7593.
