This Article contains errors. The authors reports that samples were collected from allantoic fluid; they were collected from fecal samples. The authors also reported incorrect biosafety level for the facilities where the experiments were performed.

In Materials and Methods, ‘Sample sites and sample collection’,

“After HA activity testing, viral RNA was extracted from the HA-positive allantoic fluid using QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany). Approval for this study was obtained from the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Chungcheongbuk-do Veterinary Service Laboratory (#2019-2) and all experimental procedures from virus isolation to sequencing library preparation were conducted in approved biosafety level 3 (BSL3) facilities (KCDC-12-3-04) at Chungbuk Veterinary Service Laboratory.”
