With Eid al Fitr approaching, the Ministry of Health has warned against unhealthy slaughter and negligence when dealing with livestock.


In a statement, the ministry has suggested that measures be taken to avoid direct contact with animals as the risk of contracting Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) still persists.


In the first quarter of this year, CCHF had claimed three lives. A total of nine cases — four Omanis and five expatriates — had been reported.
