Highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1 type) was confirmed at a cat shelter in Korea, and quarantine authorities began emergency quarantine.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced on the 25th that two cats at a cat shelter in Yongsan-gu, Seoul were confirmed to have highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1 type).
The two cats were suspected of being infected with respiratory diseases, and as a result of the confirmation test at the Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock Quarantine Headquarters on the test samples requested by a private inspection agency, the final confirmation was confirmed on the same day.
After confirming the doctor's case, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs shared and disseminated the outbreak situation to related organizations such as the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local governments. The city of Seoul implemented emergency quarantine measures such as cleaning and disinfection of the site, access control, and epidemiological investigation through the Quarantine Headquarters.
Following this confirmation, the quarantine authorities conduct surveillance and inspection of susceptible animal breeding facilities in the surveillance area (within 10 km).
In addition, quarantine measures such as inspections of epidemiologically related people and facilities and avian influenza surveillance tests are planned for animal protection places and facilities nationwide.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) is implementing measures to prevent human infection of avian influenza, such as contact investigations with the Seoul Metropolitan Government.
None of the contacts identified so far have symptoms. Contacts classified as a high-risk group are intensively monitored for symptoms for a maximum incubation period of 10 days from the date of last contact.
On the other hand, in December 2016, highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N6 type) was confirmed in domestic cats, and there have been no cases of human infection to date.
