The platform comprises the Ministries of Agriculture and Health along with the National Public Health Institute, Environmental Protection Agency, and Forestry Development Authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the scientific determination of the mortality cause(s), the full findings will be released to the public,\u201d the release stated.<\/p>\n

Thus far, there has been no report of dead cattle being discovered in other parts of Lofa or other counties.<\/p>\n
