Central Zoo will reopen to the public this Friday after recent environmental samples tested negative for avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu. The zoo was forced to close on June 19th following a deadly outbreak that impacted multiple species. The virus affected vulnerable bird populations including vultures, owls, and swans, as well as a jungle cat and civets residing within the zoo. Authorities conducted thorough testing and disinfection procedures to ensure the safety of both animals and visitors. The negative test results confirm the eradication of the virus within the zoo's environment. Zoo officials confirmed they are taking all necessary precautions to prevent future outbreaks and ensure animal wellbeing. Visitors are encouraged to check the zoo's website for any updated guidelines before their visit.
