Hampyeong County Operates Disinfection Facilities 24/7, Puts Full Effort into Maintaining Avian Influenza (AI) Clean Zone

Mobilizing All Available Resources Including Disinfection Equipment

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong County is putting all its efforts into maintaining its status as a high pathogenic avian influenza (AI) clean area.

According to the county on the 26th, as high pathogenic avian influenza has occurred consecutively this winter in neighboring cities and counties such as Muan and Naju, strengthened quarantine activities are being promoted to block its inflow into the region.

The county has established an emergency duty system and is operating the AI quarantine situation room and key disinfection facilities 24 hours a day, conducting daily disinfection activities targeting migratory bird habitats, vulnerable farms, and major roadsides.

Along with this, quarantine publicity activities targeting holiday travelers returning home for the Lunar New Year and livestock farms are also being strengthened.

The county plans to guide visitors to livestock farms and migratory bird habitats to refrain from visiting through text messages, village broadcasts, and banners, and promote disinfection of livestock sheds, refraining from gatherings of livestock farmers, and prompt reporting in case of suspected livestock outbreaks.

County Governor Lee Sang-ik said, “Although high pathogenic AI has not yet occurred in our county, we will not lower our guard until the end and will do our best in quarantine activities to maintain our status as an AI clean area.”
