Operation Status of Disinfection Facilities and Compliance with Administrative Orders During Special Quarantine Periods

Lee Seon-gi, Deputy Governor of Hapcheon, Gyeongnam, is conducting an on-site inspection of farm quarantine conditions.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 24th, Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Province, conducted intensive on-site inspections of biosecurity practices at layer farms within the jurisdiction in response to the nationwide increase in outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza at poultry farms.

On this day, Vice Governor Lee Seon-gi visited a layer farm located in Samga-myeon to check the operation status of disinfection facilities and compliance with administrative orders during the special quarantine period, while also encouraging the farm's biosecurity efforts and gathering opinions on any difficulties faced.

Vice Governor Lee said, “Since outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza result in culling not only at the affected farm but also at neighboring farms, causing chain damages, thorough blocking and biosecurity measures must be strictly enforced.”

Hapcheon-gun is operating a special quarantine period from October this year to February next year to prevent and block the introduction and spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza.

Additionally, to control access to migratory bird habitats and restrict entry of people and vehicles to poultry farms, 11 administrative orders and 9 biosecurity standard announcements are currently being enforced.
