In order to best prepare for another outbreak, the Ministry of Agriculture will formulate a recovery plan and preparations for the next migration season (March).
The ministry emphasizes that every year a bird flu virus is detected, but this year the flu has spread abnormally and it is a H5N1 variant that is dangerous to humans.
Due to the outbreak, the Ministry of Agriculture will conduct an in-depth investigation to examine the activity and draw operational lessons.
The National Emergency Authority will conduct a long-term investigation, in order to regulate state preparations.
