Hiding Information: Heilongjiang Province Is Preparing for an Anthrax Epidemic

The Epoch Times obtained internal documents from the Harbin Municipal Health Committee titled, “The Notice on the Prevention and Control of Anthrax in the Whole Province,” dated on April 10. The document was issued to the district and county health committees in the city.

According to the “Notice,” Heilongjiang Province is about to enter the high season for anthrax outbreaks. Anthrax is an infectious disease common to humans and animals; and it will create social fear once it occurs, given the current Pneumonia situation. The “Notice” also asked media to communicate the “harmfulness and preventability of anthrax” and “do a good job in guiding and monitoring public opinion.”

So far, the Chinese media, which are under the control of the Chinese Communist Party, have not disclosed the potential anthrax information to the general public.

Excerpt in Chinese:

近日,大纪元获得的中共内部文件显示,中共哈尔滨市卫健委于4月12日向该市的区、县(市)卫生健康局、市疾控中心等转达黑龙江省卫健委《关于做好全省炭疽疫情防控工作的通知》。

根据《通知》内容可见:黑龙江省在中共肺炎疫情蔓延关键期、即将进入炭疽的高发季节;炭疽属于人畜共患的传染病,一旦发生容易造成局部爆发,在中共肺炎疫情当下,更易造成社会恐慌;牛、马、羊等均可能发病,一旦出现疫情,公安部门将介入,还有可能对病死牲畜或肉类的密切接触者进行隔离。

该通知除了提及公安会介入外,还要求引导媒体宣传,“炭疽的危害性及可防可治性”,“做好舆论引导和舆情监测”。

此通知落款显示,黑龙江省卫健委2020年4月10日已下发。

可是截止发稿,大陆媒体未披露黑龙江省此次炭疽疫情防控通知。
