Indonesia: Update on Bekasi #H5N1 Outbreak

I previously posted on the outbreak, here.
Excerpt:
Once there tested positive of bird flu (H5N1) from the rapid tests on dozens of chickens that died suddenly in Kampung Pulopajang, Sukamakmur Village, District Sukakarya, made ​​of Animal Health Animal Husbandry Department of Fisheries and Marine Resources (EPF) Bekasi Regency (29/11) and then, until now there is no preventive action from Bekasi regency.
Therefore, there is no prevention for the spread of H5N1 that.

Residents accused Bekasi regency is not serious and indifferent to overcome the virus that causes the deadly disease. One resident, believers say, having known positive test result declared, Bekasi regency should react quickly to address the spread of this virus. This case should not be taken lightly, Bekasi regency should fast motion, then if there are even blaming the victim," he complained.

Admittedly, the EPF has done spraying disinfectant around the cages were dozens of chickens died suddenly. However, he regretted that after that no follow-up, as the case of bird flu was over.
