Swan dies of avian in the small lake of Villa Pamphilj in Rome, access to the park closed to the public

A swan died of avian flu in a pond at Villa Pamphili in Rome. As a precaution, the mayor Roberto Gualtieri has ordered the closure to the public of the portion of the park where the Giglio lake is located. The measure followed a specific request from the prevention department of the Asl Rm3, after the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Rome on 26 November had communicated a positivity for avian flu in the poultry species present in the lake. In a post Gualtieri reports that “it is a precautionary measure following the death of a swan in the pond from bird flu. For the next 10 days, therefore, we will not be able to access that area of ​​the park, ”he explains. “The subsequent communication from the Reference Center for avian influenza, the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Venice, confirmed the positivity for the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus subtype H5N1”, reports the Capitol.

“The interdiction of the area is a precautionary provision and will be monitored by the veterinary services of the Local Health Authority and the Zooprophylactic Institute, thus creating a dedicated area. All the veterinary services of Lazio have been in a state of early warning for days due to the cases detected in Ostia Antica. There is no restriction on the dietary use of eggs and poultry. The situation is under control and continuously monitored ”, underlines the councilor for health of the Lazio Region, Alessio D’Amato. In the 10 days of closure, explains the Capitoline Councilor for the Environment Sabrina Alfonsi, «the necessary checks will be carried out to exclude any further spread of the virus to the outside by visitors and allow the correct carrying out of further interventions deemed necessary. It should be noted that the biological risk is limited to the sole possibility of mechanically transmitting the virus, hence the reasons for the measure adopted today, while there are no risks for the consumption of poultry meat and eggs “.

Gualtieri makes a post on Facebook: “It is really a great regret for me to sign the ordinance that provides for the partial closure to the public of the eastern part of the Villa Pamphilj Park, where the Giglio lake is located, a place that is particularly dear to me and that I love hanging out with my family. This is a precautionary measure requested by the Asl Rm3 ». The 10 days of closure, he explains, will serve “to make further investigations and, above all, to prevent the virus from spreading mechanically. The health of citizens is a priority for us. I hope to be able to return this precious and unique place of our city to the Romans as soon as possible ».
