S. Korea beefs up quarantine measures against bird flu

2018/01/04 11:37

SEJONG, Jan. 4 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's agriculture ministry said Thursday that quarantine measures will be intensified against bird flu as the latest outbreak in Gyeonggi Province has raised concerns with little over a month left before the start of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Games.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs heightened its alert level of avian influenza (AI) after a H5N6 strain was confirmed at a layer chicken farm in Pocheon, 46 kilometers north of Seoul, earlier in the day.

The virus has spread mainly in Jeolla Province with nine highly pathogenic cases since mid-November, but the first outbreak in Gyeonggi Province prompted stronger quarantine measures as the area is close to Gangwon Province, the host of the PyeongChang Olympics, which runs from Feb. 9-25.
...
The government also culled 313,000 chickens within 500 meters radius of the affected farm and will cull 384,000 more in the nearby region as part of preventive measures.

Disease control director promises safety at Pyeongchang 2018

By Daniel Etchells Friday, 5 January 2018

The director of Korea Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, Jeong Eun-kyeong, has pledged that the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympic Games will be safe and free of infectious diseases ?KCDC
...
Jeong's pledge comes at a time when concerns around the spread of bird flu remain prevalent.

Earlier this week, a chicken farm in Gyeonggi Province, located 77 kilometres from Pyeongchang, reported a suspected case of avian influenza.
...
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the preliminary test showed that they were infected with avian influenza.

In order to prevent further spread of the highly-contagious virus, the Government intends to cull all remaining chickens and conduct inspections into farms within 3km of the affected region.

In November, farmers in areas close to venues due to be used at Pyeongchang 2018 were urged by local officials to cull all poultry in an attempt to prevent the spread of bird flu.
...
Officials are hoping to contain the spread to avoid the possibility of an outbreak during the Games...
