Currently, avian influenza in Quang Tri has been controlled. However, the risk of an epidemic occurring in the near future is forecast to be very high. Through proactive sampling of poultry sold at a number of markets in the province, 29 samples were found to be positive for avian influenza type A (genome M) and 2 samples were positive for avian influenza A/H5N1 virus out of 420 tested samples. In order to proactively and effectively control avian influenza and synchronously deploy measures to prevent and control animal diseases in accordance with regulations, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ha Sy Dong has just signed and issued a document to provincial departments, branches, sectors, organizations and People's Committees of districts, towns and cities on strengthening the prevention and control of avian influenza.
Accordingly, depending on their functions and tasks, units and localities must strengthen the prevention and control of avian influenza; focus on preventing, detecting and strictly handling cases of illegal transportation of poultry and poultry products across the border into Vietnam.
Organize extensive propaganda about the epidemic situation, ensure hygiene in poultry farming and slaughtering, do not use poultry of unknown origin, poultry, poultry products that have not been quarantined; use cooked poultry meat, do not eat blood pudding; implement measures to prevent and control avian influenza.
Develop specific local plans and prepare human resources, materials, and funding to proactively respond promptly, preventing the outbreak and widespread spread.
Direct the implementation of vaccination against dangerous diseases such as avian influenza, foot-and-mouth disease, lumpy skin disease in cattle and buffalo, rabies, etc., ensuring that the vaccination rate reaches over 80% of the total herd at the time of vaccination; pay special attention to high-risk livestock and poultry that have been vaccinated but are about to expire their immunity period.
Actively monitor poultry diseases, especially in areas where diseases have occurred and high-risk areas, to detect early, warn and handle thoroughly when new diseases are discovered; strictly handle cases of concealment and failure to report, leading to widespread disease spread, affecting people and the community.
Strengthen inspection and control of quarantine work, control of transportation of animals, animal products and control of animal slaughter in the area. Update, report promptly, fully and accurately the disease situation and carry out reporting of animal disease situation via the Online Animal Disease Information System (VAHIS) in accordance with regulations.
Develop a plan to use funding to prevent and control epidemics and support farmers whose poultry are forced to be destroyed in accordance with Decree 02/2017/ND-CP dated January 9, 2017 of the Government on mechanisms and policies to support agricultural production to restore production in areas damaged by natural disasters and epidemics. Strengthen inspection and strict control of border gates, trails along the border, national highways, train stations, bus stations, and markets.
