[Photo/IC] BEIJING -- Chinese authorities lifted quarantine in three more areas hit by African swine fever, as prevention and control measures have put outbreaks under control. Laboratory tests and on-site assessments by local authorities show that the epidemic has been eliminated in the counties of Taoyuan and Yuanling in central Hunan Province and Taiyuan, northern Shanxi Province, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said Tuesday on its website. No new cases have been reported at the three infected areas over the past six weeks, with immediate actions having been taken to block, cull and disinfect affected pigs after the outbreak. The ministry has demanded local governments to step up monitoring of pigs and take proactive measures to prevent recurrence of the disease. At least 631,000 pigs have been culled across the country since the outbreak as early as the end of September, while measures including strengthened monitoring of live pig transportation and tightened entry inspection and quarantine have been taken. Thanks to these efforts, the situation has started to improve and restrictions have been lifted in about 38 affected areas. African swine fever is believed to only infect pigs. No humans or other species have been infected. custom silicone wristbands no minimum free shippingunder armour silicone wristbandscanadian cancer society wristbandsblue rubber bracelet meaning24 hour wristband

[Photo/IC] BEIJING -- A total of 4,329 people from Taiwan have taken the national judicial examination and the unified qualification exam for legal professionals on the mainland, with 415 of them having passed the exams, according to the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) Sunday. And 5,164 and 601 residents from Hong Kong and Macao have also sat the exams since 2004, with 440 Hong Kong examinees and 42 Macao examinees passing the exams. China held its first unified qualification exam for legal professionals in September last year as a result of a reform of the former national judicial examination, which was held annually from 2002 to 2017. In last year's exam, 174 examinees from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan passed the exam, some of whom received their qualification certificates at presentation ceremonies Saturday and Sunday in the southern cities of Shenzhen and Xiamen. Administrative organs in justice will continue to implement and improve the system for the qualification exam for legal professionals, and provide people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan with more convenience and quality services for signing up for the exam, said MOJ. bracelet making suppliescustom charm braceletsrubber braceletscustom silicone braceletshow do you make rubber band bracelets<%2fcenter>
