High pathogenic avian influenza Central Accident Management Headquarters (Director Jeong Hwang-geun, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, herefollowing Jung Su-bon), intervened in the Ministry of Environment (National Institute of Wildlife Disease Control) for wild birds (white-cheeked black duck) caught on October 17 in Anseong (Anseongcheon), Gyeonggi-do. As a result of the test, it was revealed that the H5-type avian influenza (AI) antigen was detected.
* A detailed examination is currently in progress, and it is expected that it will take regarding 3 to 5 days to determine whether it is highly pathogenic.
As an avian influenza antigen was detected in a wild bird capture object, access control at the wild bird capture point (initial response by the quarantine headquarters), a 10km radius area was set as a ‘wild bird observation area’, and monitoring of poultry farms within the observation area was strengthened. In addition, emergency measures such as strengthening quarantine measures such as disinfection of roads near migratory bird habitats and nearby poultry farms are being implemented.
In order to prevent and prevent the spread of avian influenza, poultry farms must strictly follow basic quarantine rules, such as applying quicklime to the farm entrance, disinfecting hands and changing boots before entering the barn, and cleaning the inside and outside of the barn every day.
As for the heavy water supply, not only livestock vehicles and poultry farm workers who are prohibited from entering major migratory bird habitats across the country, but also the general public refrain from visiting migratory bird sanctuaries. They were asked to report it to the Wild Animal Disease Control Center as soon as possible.
