Goa bans meat sales to prevent disease

Goa has banned the sale of meat for Sunday, May 11th, as part of intensified efforts to prevent the spread of vector-borne diseases. This measure aims to curb potential disease outbreaks. The Goa Health Department issued an advisory to prevent dengue and malaria ahead of the monsoon season. The ban is a preventative step, with increased focus on sanitation and public health measures, particularly at docks and other areas. This action follows other initiatives, including increased honorariums for health workers and the implementation of preventative measures in other regions. The state is preparing for the monsoon and its associated health risks.
