"Alhamdulillah (thank God), Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is over. We require qurban animals entering Jakarta to have a health certificate from the area of ​​origin and we carry out double checks," he added.

"We also urge Jakarta residents to buy qurban animals at shelters that already have stickers from the Jakarta KPKP Agency," he stated.
