The provincial minister also distributed Congo virus awareness and safety kits among the livestock farmers and butchers. He said that while slaughtering the sacrificial animals, the butchers should take special care of the standard operating procedures (SOPs) because there was a risk of Congo fever from the tick-borne animals, which must be prevented.
