All import permits issued for poultry and poultry products have been revoked with immediate effect, Minister of Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition Thabo Mofosi said on Lesotho Television.

Lesotho veterinary authorities are consulting with their South African counterparts and will announce as soon as imports are deemed safe, based on the disease surveillance, Mofosi said.
