Infected premises and movement restrictions
Last updated on November 7, 2024An infected premises (IP) occurs when an HPAI detection in poultry is confirmed through laboratory testing. CFIA places an IP under quarantine. Learn about what to expect if your birds are infected.
CFIA may also create a Primary Control Zone (PCZ) around an IP. PCZs restrict the movement of poultry and poultry related products and equipment within a 10 km radius of an IP.
Are you in a Primary Control Zone?
You can see the location of active primary control zones (PCZs) on the CFIA web site using the interactive AI Zone Map.
Permits and movement control permissions
If your flock is in an active PCZ, you will need a permit to move your birds, their products, and by-products. Permits are required for both small and commercial flocks. Use CFIA’s interactive tool to find information on permits and conditions.
