Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee asked local departments and people to swiftly take preventive measures to stop the spread of the disease, after several ducks were found to dead from the virus on March 6.
Accordingly, a campaign to raise public awareness about the dangers of bird flu has been organised, while the local authorities are also decontaminating areas across the region .
The province is also keeping a close watch on breeding, trading and transporting poultry in the locality.
Dong Nai is home to the largest number of poultry nationwide, with over 12 million. It is located at the gateway of Ho Chi Minh City – the key economic hub in the south. As such, the transportation of poultry products is more likely to trigger the outbreak of bird flu.
