When the embargo is rescinded, how will CDC continue to protect the public from the risk of HPAI?
CDC will continue to work closely with USDA, the World Health Organization, the World Animal Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization, and individual Ministries of Health to monitor the situation regarding HPAI in foreign countries to ensure that the threat to human health is being adequately addressed through animal control measures. If necessary, CDC can take measures to control a human health threat based upon its authority to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States. CDC’s regulations on animal importation from regions that have reported the presence of HPAI in poultry can be found in 42 CFR 71.32 – Persons, carriers, and things.
