Mexico has adopted a more realistic approach in response to reports of outbreaks of HPAI. following the policy of imposing statewide bans following outbreaks of HPAI. In February authorities imposed statewide bans irrespective of whether backyard or commercial poultry flocks were affected.  With the exception of a state ban on Wisconsin, Mexico has agreed to the policy of regionalization, requiring embargoes only on counties where outbreaks in commercial poultry are diagnosed.
