    Due to the outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza in the province of Chocó, Colombia's border with Panama, the Panamanian Ministry of Health (MINSA) recently issued a "green alert" to prevent the importation
    of avian influenza viruses.
     
    The Panamanian "ecotvpanama" website reported on October 25 that MINSA and Panama's Ministry of Agriculture and Development (MIDA) both announced that the country is on constant alert and is working together to protect the safety of
    Panamanian animals.
     
    Experts from MIDA's National Animal Health Agency noted that H5N1 avian influenza affects all birds, so Panama is on high alert
    .
    The national security services are also coordinating the actions of the checkpoints, planning to carry out continuous patrols
    at Panama's borders, ports, airports and other places.
    In addition, the government will ban cockfighting and other similar activities
    .
     
    Currently, a total of 175 birds in Colombia have been infected with the H5N1 avian influenza virus, and 86 have eventually died
    .
    No avian influenza virus has
    been detected in Panama.
