Live bird markets on Long Island, Westchester and New York City will have to shut their doors after an outbreak of bird flu was discovered in the city by state agriculture officials.

A total of 80 markets are impacted, including two in Nassau and one in Suffolk.

Employees at the Nassau markets tell News 12 they will comply with the order, and close starting on Sunday. They note they have not had any issues with bird flu.

Locations will be cleaned, disinfected and then inspected before being allowed to reopen after five days.

This follows an avian flu outbreak at the Crescent Duck Farm in Aquebogue, causing it to euthanize its 100,000-duck flock - and temporarily shut down.
