KUPANG - Acting Mayor of Kupang, Province of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), George Melkianus Hadjoh appealed to residents of the area to buy meat in slaughterhouses (RPH) to prevent the spread of African Swine Fever (ASF) virus or African Babi Flu. "We urge the residents of Kupang City to buy meat sold by slaughterhouses. This is done to prevent the spread of the ASF virus that has attacked pigs in a number of areas," said Acting Mayor of Kupang in Kupang, Thursday. Kupang City, he continued, in order to buy pork that has passed the inspection process and is designated as healthy meat for the public consumption by doctors or health workers serving at RPH in Oeba. He said the disease that attacks pigs is highly contagious and can cause death in pigs which will result in considerable economic losses for farmers and economic actors in Kupang City. Although ASF is not too dangerous for humans, we as government must ensure that the pork meat consumed by the Kupang City community is completely healthy and free of disease," said George Melkiaus Hadjoh. The sale of pork meat freely is still seen at several points in Kupang City, which is feared to potentially bring disease to consumers as a result of ASF swine disease. He has asked the Civil Service Police together with related agencies to immediately appeal to the public, so as not to carry out animal slaughter outside the RPH that has been provided by the government. There is no other way to guarantee the public consume healthy meat. Satpol PP and related agencies immediately control the meat sellers who do not pass the inspection process and are set as healthy meat for public consumption by doctors or health workers on duty at RPH, said George.
