The agricultural sector has proactively coordinated with localities to conduct field inspections in farming areas, closely monitor the disease situation; guide shrimp farming households with infected shrimp to implement disease prevention and control measures to avoid widespread spread; and recommend that farming households strengthen disease prevention and control measures. Therefore, the damage level is below 10%.

In the coming time, the fisheries sector will continue to periodically collect crustacean samples for pathogen analysis, announce them on mass media and notify local authorities so that people can proactively manage their ponds. Continue to maintain the assignment of specialized staff to closely monitor key areas, advise and support farmers in disease prevention and control (especially black tiger shrimp and whiteleg shrimp).
