Bururi: Forbidden to sell and consume pork
03/10/2022 Ndabashinze Renovation 1
The provincial governor Bururi decided, this Sunday, October 2, 2022, to ban the trade, slaughter and consumption of pork. For good reason: a disease hitherto unknown.
This measure comes “after having detected cases of an as yet unidentified disease that attacks pigs”, motivated the governor's cabinet, via a press release to the public.
According to him, cases of this disease have been identified in Vyanda and Bururi communes respectively in Gitsiro and Bururi areas. Without giving the figures, the governor indicated that cases of death are already recorded following this disease.
Among its symptoms: excessive temperature. Information from these affected municipalities indicates that 20 pigs have already died as a result of this as yet unidentified disease.
To try to limit the spread, the governor asks the administrative authorities, the police and security forces, those responsible for environmental protection to closely monitor the situation and to inform urgently in the event of suspicious cases.
The governor of Bururi warns the entire population: “Anyone violating these measures will be punished exemplarily. »
It should be noted that the pigs had been spared by the Rift Valley fever detected in Burundi for the first time towards the end of April. Pigs, dogs, cats and rabbits and horses, domestic animals raised in Burundi are weakly sensitive to this disease, the infection is inapparent.
