Due to the situation, institutions have suspended their activities for cleaning the premises. According to the district education department, a complete disinfection is currently being carried out both inside and outside the buildings.
In the villages of Beybars and Taldykol, there has been a mass appearance of voles, and local residents express surprise, as they have not encountered such a number of rodents before. According to them, the pest problem has persisted for several days and creates sanitary inconveniences.
People report that dozens of rodents are collected in every yard, yet their numbers do not decrease. Local authorities suggest that the active reproduction of voles may be related to the flooding that occurred last year. To combat the pests, special means have begun to be distributed to residents.
Specialists checked the captured rodents for infections and found no infected individuals. Nevertheless, the risk of disease spread is assessed as low. As a result, students from two schools and children from kindergartens were temporarily sent home until the cleaning of the premises is completed.
