The entry of all poultry products and transport of birds was banned in the state, after 17,000 ducks were found dead in the Kuttanadu area.

According to reports, truck-loads of chicken and eggs from neighbouring Tamil Nadu and Karnataka were denied entry into Kerala following the red-alert.

Twenty four-hour control rooms were also started in the affected areas.
