It is necessary to conduct close inspections on the concentrated distribution areas of wild animals, cluster activity areas, migratory birds' wintering sites and migration passages within the jurisdiction, and resolutely curb the indiscriminate hunting of wild animals. All localities should quickly check the cases transferred by administrative departments, and severely punish those who constitute criminal cases according to law. At the same time, it is necessary to cooperate with relevant departments to strengthen the supervision and management of the disposal of epidemic medical waste and hazardous waste containing infectious disease pathogens, severely crack down on suspected crimes according to law, and prevent secondary infection.
