A veterinarian carries out PCR tests on chickens in a farm in the Landes department, south west of France, January 13, 2021. France's government said Tuesday that 700,000 birds euthanised since December would be followed by hundreds of thousands more as authorities expanded the range of authorisations for culls on farms affected by the outbreak. Officials in the Gers, Landes, Pyrenees-Atlantiques and Hautes-Pyrenees, as well as 11 municipalities in Lot-et-Garonne, all administrative departments in southwestern France, were newly authorised to destroy birds.
