5h agoThe Popcorn Park Zoo in Forked River has announced
it will be closed this week after the staff recovered a dead duck and goose and sent them for
testing, with the results coming back positive for avian flu.
The type of flu can affect humans in some cases.
Since August,
bird flu has been found in three New Jersey counties -- Sussex, Warren and most
recently in Ocean County.
Popcorn Park posted on its social media pages the sanctuary will
be closed through Friday so workers can fully sanitize the area and manage the
situation for future exposure.
They also posted they are working closely with the United States
Department of Agriculture and the New Jersey Department of Agriculture
and will update once they learn more.
