Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Conducts Large-Scale Disinfection on 'National Simultaneous Disinfection Day'

[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Kim] The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced on the 27th that it has designated this day as the 'National Simultaneous Disinfection Day' and will conduct large-scale cleaning and disinfection.

The ministry plans to provide guidance and publicity to ensure nationwide livestock facilities participate in cleaning and disinfection, and will inspect the implementation status.

Livestock farms and facilities will carry out cleaning and disinfection using their own equipment, and livestock vehicles will visit nearby base disinfection facilities for washing and disinfection operations.

For 3,400 vulnerable sites such as migratory bird habitats and densely populated breeding areas, local governments, agricultural cooperatives, and military units will share responsibilities to conduct disinfection.

Local governments and the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency will conduct pre-publicity and check whether disinfection is carried out on the day.

Traditional market poultry sales outlets and trader holding yards will designate the 29th as a 'Simultaneous Closure and Disinfection Day' to strengthen quarantine management.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs urged all livestock facilities nationwide to thoroughly implement quarantine measures and to immediately report any suspected diseased livestock to quarantine authorities.
