South Korea’s government has confirmed the fourth outbreak of the H5N1 bird flu in the last month.
this outbreak was found in western South Korea at a farm in Yeoungam. This is 236 miles southwest of Seoul.
The bird flu has killed around 235 people in the world since 2003.
South Korea has been hit very hard lately by the H5N1 bird flu virus. In just the last month, there have been four different outbreaks confirmed.
This comes after South Korea went for a full year without having any outbreaks of the bird flu.
They have already slaughtered over 1 million chickens to try and control the bird flu outbreaks. They are working hard to control the spread of the virus.
