New York temporarily closes city poultry markets after detecting seven avian flu cases.

New York has temporarily closed all live poultry markets in New York City and surrounding counties for a week after detecting seven cases of avian flu. Governor Kathy Hochul ordered the shutdown to prevent the virus's spread, though there are no reported human cases. Markets must sell their inventory, clean, and remain closed for five days. The U.S. CDC states the virus poses a low risk to the public.
