The number of bird flu cases in Poland has risen to five. Vets pronounced three wild birds in the village of Krzykaly, north-east Poland, to be infected with the H5N1 virus. 

As was announced by Ludwik Bartoszewicz, chief vet of the warminsko-mazurskie province, at a press conference yesterday evening, three birds from the bird recovery centre in Krzykaly died of bird flu.
