The committees are working quickly to estimate the financial impact. Their findings will be submitted to the Cabinet for review. The government will then decide on appropriate compensation for affected farmers.

Veterinary experts and livestock specialists are also involved in the investigation. They are studying the causes of the outbreak and recommending containment measures. Preventing further infections remains a top priority.
