I request the government to look into the issue and find a solution soon
TURBAT: The Congo virus has been spreading rapidly throughout the world and claiming lives. Recently, it has been observed in animals in Pakistan and has even claimed precious lives as animals can infect humans.
The government needs to ensure that cattle traders follow strict protocols in the sale of all livestock. The disease could potentially affect the whole population of animals currently present in markets across Pakistan. The public should be prudent regarding the purchase of animals before Eid, as reports indicates that the disease is spreading. I request the government to look into the issue and find a solution soon.
