AVA to conduct "bird flu exercise"

DID SOMEONE SAY "EXERCISE"?
ALRIGHT, LET'S DO THIS!
The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) will test its emergency preparedness on Thursday to respond to a 'bird flu outbreak'.

The drill is code-named "Exercise Gallus VI", and would be AVA's sixth exercise.

It will test AVA's crisis management and the operational readiness of its staff when dealing with an outbreak.

Among the tests to be carried out are the activation and recall process of emergency response staff, the system of culling and disposal of chickens as well as a new foam decontamination process.

The exercise will be held at AVA's Veterinary Public Health Centre premises in Lim Chu Kang as well as at a local poultry farm.
