Invoke steps under health act: Kerala minister directs officials on bird flu outbreak
The recent outbreak of bird flu in two wards of Alappuzha has prompted Health Minister Veena George to take swift action under the Kerala Public Health Act, 2023. She has instructed the director of the health department to initiate necessary measures to contain the spread of the virus.
Panchayat-level committees are being urgently convened in all panchayats of Alappuzha to address the situation effectively. Additionally, neighboring areas are under close surveillance, with district-level monitoring in place. Progress reports are mandated to be submitted at the state level to ensure coordinated efforts.
