Epidemic prevention measures are being taken at the site of a poultry plant fire in northeastern China’s Jilin Province, which killed 120.
Local health authorities announced at a press conference that 25 workers have finished the first round of disinfection on Wednesday morning. It would take at least three days to complete the entire process.
The authorities also said the 2,000 and more dead chickens at the plant are of high risk of causing an epidemic. The local government has mobilized 80 rescue workers to curb any potential outbreak.
