    An official of the city said, "Poultry farmers will thoroughly control access and disinfect to prevent AI, and will urge citizens to visit migratory birds and livestock facilities."

    On the other hand, 9 dogs were reported by the owner in a farmhouse where 24 domestic chickens were raised in the Gyesang army on the 15th.

    The inspectors carried out a simple test on 10 dogs including 7 dead and 3 living bodies, and seven of them (five dead, two dead) were positive. (not clear how many are dead as result of H5N6. s.s)

    The city has disappeared all the poultry breeding farms on the 15th, and completed the preventive death disposal of 654 farms of 5 poultry farms within a radius of 3km corresponding to the protected area on the 16th.
