Authorities in the Ntungamo district have put in place a livestock quarantine in Rushenyi county due to foot and mouth disease.
According to the district veterinary officer Dr.Yaake Basulira, the decision was taken by the district’s top leadership following the outbreak of the disease in the parishes of Nyakariro and Kashenyi in Ngoma sub-county.
Yaake says there is a possibility of escalation of the disease due to the failure of the locals to adhere to the guidelines.
in a letter issued on the 11th of October 2022, signed by the district veterinary officer Dr.Yaake Basulira and Resident district commissioner Mucunguzi Geoffrey, all locals are ordered to desist from the transportation of animals and their products for a period of two weeks.
