Umkhulumeli woMnyango wezoLimo, iFisheries, and Conservation eHong Kong ukhiphe isitatimende, ememezela ukuthi uhulumeni wedolobha uzokhipha isivimbelo sonyaka sokungeniswa kwama-hamster nezinye izilwane ezincelisayo ezincane, esinqatshelwe ngonyaka owedlule ngenxa yokukhathazeka kwe-COVID-19.

Nakuba izilwane ezifuywayo ezincane ezingenisiwe zisazodinga imiphumela yokuhlolwa kwe-coronavirus engemihle ngaphambi kokuba ithengiswe edolobheni, lezo ezitholakala ukuthi zine-HIV zizovalelwa zodwa kusukela manje kuqhubeke 'kuze kube yilapho umphumela usugculisa.'

Ngokuvumelana ne Umnyango Wezolimo, Wezokudoba, Nokugcinwa Kwemvelo'ssikhulu, ukuhlolwa kuyadingeka ngoba ucwaningo luye lwafakazela ukuthi amagundane awagcini nje ngokungenwa yigciwane, kodwa angakwazi ukulidlulisela kalula kubantu.

i-Hong Kong ama-hamster angeniswa kwamanye amazwe avinjelwe nezinye izilwane ezincelisayo ezincane eziqhamuka kwamanye amazwe ngoJanuwari odlule, ngemuva kokuthi ama-hamster acishe abe ishumi nambili athunyelwa evela eNetherlands kutholakale ukuthi angenwe yi-Delta ehlukile ye-coronavirus.

Ukuhluka kweDelta bekungakaze kubonakale kubantu izinyanga futhi kukholakala ukuthi yahamba eHong Kong kwaze kwaba yilapho isisebenzi esineminyaka engu-23 ubudala esitolo sezilwane ezifuywayo e-Little Boss sitholakala sinegciwane futhi kusolakala ukuthi sithelele ikhasimende.

Izikhulu zezempilo zeDolobha zigcine ngokubulala ama-hamster angama-2,500, kanye onogwaja abambalwa nama-chinchillas, ukuphendula lokhu okutholakele, okwenzeka ngenkathi iHong Kong izama ukusebenzisa inqubomgomo eqinile yaseChina yeZero COVID.

Izakhamizi zaseHong Kong nazo ziyalelwa ukuthi zifake ama-hamster azo ukuze zihlolwe, kodwa yimindeni eyi-113 kuphela okubikwa ukuthi yakwenza lokho, kwathi eyodwa kuphela yalezo zilwane ezifuywayo yatholakala inaleli gciwane. 

Ngenkathi ama-hamster ahlala evinjelwe njengoba ukwethuka kuncipha, izitolo zezilwane zavunyelwa ukuthi ziphinde zingenise izilwane ezincelisayo ezingezona i-hamster ngoMeyi.

Ukuguqulwa kokuvinjelwa kwe-hamster kuza phakathi nokuvulwa okubanzi kwe-Hong Kong, okususe ukuhlukaniswa kwamahhotela, ukuvinjelwa kwezindawo zokudlela kanye nezindawo zokudlela, kanye nezidingo zokuhlolwa kwe-PCR kwabasanda kufika.

Kodwa-ke, idolobha kubikwa ukuthi lihlela ukugcina igunya lalo lemaski, licaphuna ukukhathazeka ngomkhuhlane kanye ne-COVID-19.

Ukuya nokubuya ezweni laseChina kulindeleke ukuthi kuvulwe kabusha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kuleli sonto njengoba iBeijing yenza lula izinqubomgomo zayo ze-Zero-COVID.
