Due to the emergence of a voice duck farm AI...adjacent local governments cancel sunrise events.

(Jeungpyeong=Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Seong-min = North Chungcheong Jeungpyeong County and Goesan County announced on the 30th that they are canceling the New Year's Day celebration, which was planned for January 1, in terms of avian influenza (AI) prevention. This follows the confirmation of highly pathogenic AI from an antigen detected in a cock farm in Wonnam-myeon, Eumseong-gun, an adjacent area, the previous day. A Jeungpyeong County official stated, "Considering that a large number of people gathering would inevitably cause problems in quarantine management, we ask for the broad understanding of the residents." Meanwhile, this is the fifth case of highly pathogenic AI confirmed in the province during this winter season, and the 25th nationwide.
