The risk of pandemic is high

Talking to the press on October 28 afternoon, Mr. Bui Quang Anh, Director of Animal Health Department, said the risk of a bird flu outbreak in Vietnam is very high. The reason is that the implementation in the localities is still weak, many localities are still subjective.

According to Mr. Anh, Vietnam has implemented all measures to prevent and control epidemics such as poultry destruction, disinfection hygiene, bio-security enhancement, organization of concentrated poultry slaughtering, and prohibiting poultry breeding in TP, vaccinated vaccines . However, due to thin veterinary forces, not allowed to stop vehicles on the road, the poultry quarantine has not been thoroughly implemented. Meanwhile, although there have been regulations to stop brooding aquatic birds, many localities do not comply with the regulations, leading to the situation where only 20 million poultry are vaccinated so far. 60 million children.

According to the Animal Health Department's warning, localities in the Mekong River Delta and Red River Delta regions are among the most at risk of outbreaks. The current weather is an easy condition to develop the development if localities do not drastically implement epidemic prevention measures. In addition, a bad information for Vietnam is that some countries in the world have discovered birds infected with bird flu. This will be particularly dangerous for Vietnam, where there are numerous birds in the sky.
