Anseong Facilities Management Corporation Deploys Emergency Quarantine Measures in Region

Anseong Facilities Management Corporation announced on the 24th that it has conducted emergency quarantine operations by mobilizing approximately 250 employees over five days from January 11 to prevent and block the nationwide spread of foot-and-mouth disease.

This emergency personnel support is being provided as foot-and-mouth disease continues to spread throughout Gyeonggi Province, aiming to prevent further spread of the disease through swift quarantine measures and alleviate the burden on front-line public officials and livestock farmers struggling amid the prolonged cold spell.

Additionally, the corporation is operating two of the 36 foot-and-mouth disease quarantine checkpoints within its jurisdiction, inspecting and disinfecting livestock-related vehicles to make all-out efforts to prevent the spread of foot-and-mouth disease.

An official from the corporation stated, "We will make efforts to ensure that the corporation's support to Anseong's livestock farmers facing difficulties due to this outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease is implemented promptly," and added, "Through role-sharing with public officials from Anseong City Hall who are enduring mental and physical hardship in this extreme cold weather, we plan to do our best to support quarantine and disinfection efforts."

Meanwhile, the corporation previously mobilized large-scale personnel to provide support during the outbreak of avian influenza (AI) in 2007.
