Therefore, the Capital’s Secretariat of Environment, Production and Sustainable Development, through Miguel Larrauri, met with volunteer firefighters and representatives of the province’s Wildlife Management Authority.

In this case, Miguel LaLauri explained, “Based on the latest information about animals dying from avian influenza, we met with different entities to resolve the issue.”

“Next week we will start training the people responsible for the issue, such as how to act in the presence of infected animals,” he added. “In addition,” he said, “we are discussing summer and operational protocols .”

Regarding the recommendations, he reported, “These included avoiding taking dogs to the beach. Do not approach a sea lion when it is present, and avoid direct contact or pet approach. Precautions were also mentioned to avoid approaching wild birds and not to contact Surfaces that may be contaminated with bird secretions.”

“This was the first meeting to inform us of the issue and we will meet again later to move forward with the agreement with other entities in the city,” LaLaurie concluded.
