The South Gyeongsang Provincial Office said on Tuesday that a dead whooper swan discovered in Upo Wetland in Changnyeong County was tested positive for the H5N6 strain of avian influenza(AI).

The office has conducted emergency quarantine measures within a 10-kilometer radius from where the virus was detected.

It is also controlling the movement of vehicles into the area, and set up nine control offices along major roads leading to the area to prevent citizens from entering.
