He believes that the ministry will properly inspect and clear everything within a radius of three kilometres if infections are recorded. Poultry farmers must also strictly comply with the rules, so the chance that the virus will spread further is very limited. He stressed that the availability of chicken and chicken parts is guaranteed. \u201cThere is no need to worry or panic.\u201d Moeridjan has no idea how the virus entered the country, because all poultry products are properly inspected before being allowed in. \u201cCertain products also enter the country through smuggling, so it may have gone wrong there.\u201d This virus is also spread by certain migratory birds, but he hopes this is not the case in Suriname.<br \/>\nAccording to the board member, the ministry should communicate more frequently with society about this, so that citizens have no doubts. \u201cEveryone must also remain vigilant and immediately inform the ministry if there are suspicions.\u201d \u201cSo that matters do not escalate further.\u201d He hopes consumers will continue consuming locally produced chicken and will not switch en masse to foreign chicken. Moeridjan once again stressed that consumers do not need to worry and can consume locally produced chicken as usual. The chicken must, however, be properly prepared or fried so that all pathogens are killed.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ministry of LVV will swiftly take measures to keep infections among local chickens limited, allowing consumers to continue eating local chicken without concern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":189570,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_29234516172805655_1309923202201307":"","facebook_29234516172805655_1158244960706604":"","facebook_29234516172805655_1093738170500407":"","facebook_29234516172805655_108923581283702":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[16333],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-189975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","pp_force_visibility":null,"pp_subpost_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_force_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_subpost_visibility":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189975"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189975\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":189989,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189975\/revisions\/189989"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
