Yonhap | English | News | Nov. 19, 2025 | Epidemics and Pandemics
South Korea reported a new case of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza at a layer farm in Hwaseong, southern Gyeonggi Province, marking the fifth outbreak since the start of the cold season in September 2025. This is the second confirmed case at a layer farm this season, and Hwaseong has had two prior bird flu cases in the last five years.
The Central Disaster Management Headquarters plans to conduct special quarantine inspections at around 230 layer farms where previous outbreaks occurred and will strengthen monitoring of vehicles visiting the infected farm to prevent further spread.
Agriculture Ministry official Lee Dong-sik highlighted the increasing risk of additional outbreaks nationwide due to the arrival of winter migratory birds and detection of highly pathogenic AI in wild birds across six regions. He urged poultry farm workers and related personnel to strictly adhere to quarantine protocols, including controlling entry of people and vehicles and enforcing disinfection measures.
