[앵커]

As highly pathogenic AI occurred in duck poultry farms and was confirmed one after another in wild birds, the nation was exposed to the risk of AI.

The quarantine authorities judged the AI ​​to be at a very dangerous level and entered the highest level of quarantine measures.

Reporter Oh In-seok about the report.

As the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry farms was confirmed, tensions from quarantine authorities also increased.

This is because highly pathogenic AI has been confirmed in domestic poultry farms in 2 years and 8 months, and highly pathogenic AI has been confirmed one after another in wild birds.

Eight highly pathogenic AI antigens were detected in wild birds in Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Chungnam, and Jeju.

Quarantine authorities believe that the path through which the highly pathogenic AI was introduced into poultry farms is currently the most likely to have been through contaminated wild birds from migratory bird habitats around the farm.

With the AI ​​crisis alert upgraded to ‘Severe’, quarantine authorities have entered the highest level of quarantine measures.

First, intensive disinfection was carried out at the arrival points of migratory birds and the access roads to the poultry farms in the Jeonbuk region where the farms were located.

Apart from existing migratory bird habitats, disinfection is carried out 4 times a week in small reservoirs and rivers near 5,700 poultry farms nationwide.

A manual to strengthen quarantine for local governments, farmers and related livestock was also distributed to prevent further spread of AI.

An administrative order has also been issued, such as a ban on the entry of livestock vehicles to the migratory bird control section.

The raising of poultry on poultry farms throughout the country is prohibited and the distribution of live chickens and ducks in traditional markets is prohibited.

Quarantine authorities have requested that access to migratory birds, reservoirs and agricultural land that may come into contact with the virus be prohibited.
