All of Norfolk and Suffolk, and parts of Essex, have been made subject to avian flu restrictions.
The Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) had been established to mitigate the risk of further outbreaks, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said.
It follows a number of cases in poultry and wild and captive birds.
The UK's deputy chief veterinary officer Richard Irvine said bird keepers "must urgently take action".
Incidents have been confirmed near Hadleigh and Honington in Suffolk, and in Northwold in Norfolk.
The week before that, there were separate outbreaks at Honington and Bury St Edmunds, in Suffolk, and another near Attleborough.
