AI antigen at Gimpo spawning farm...Government "checking for high pathogenicity"

H5 type avian influenza and AI antigens were identified at a spawning farm in Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do.

The Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters is scrutinizing whether it is highly pathogenic or not, and it will take up to three days for the results to come out.

After restricting access to the farm, the Central Disaster Management Headquarters conducted an epidemiological investigation and buried 75,000 chickens raised on the farm.

In addition, to prevent the spread of AI, officials and vehicles at chicken farms and livestock facilities in Gyeonggi and Incheon were ordered to temporarily suspend movement until 3 p.m. tomorrow (21st).
