On the 8th, quarantine authorities and pig farms are very nervous because African swine fever occurred in a year on a pig farm in Hwacheon, Gangwon-do. Additional confirmations came from another farm near the site of the first outbreak. Connect with reporters. Reporter Kim Hyun-woo! Additional confirmed African swine fever? Yes it is. An additional confirmed pig farm is located about 2 km from the Hwacheon farm in Gangwon-do that occurred on the 8th. Quarantine authorities said a farm that was subjected to preventive burial near the farm where it first occurred was confirmed to be positive for African swine fever. It is the second African swine fever this year. The additionally identified farm was located 10 km from the farm where it first occurred, and was included in the preventive sale issue and quarantine measures were being implemented. Quarantine authorities explained that the results of the review of the remaining pig farms in Hwacheon-gun, with the exception of the farms that were confirmed, were negative. However, quarantine authorities and pig farms are very nervous. African swine fever reappeared after a year, and there has been a case of an outbreak in wild boar in Gangwon-do, but Hwacheon is the first case in which a domestic pig has been infected. Did the quarantine authorities extend the temporary suspension order for the Gyeonggi and Gangwon areas? Yes it is. Quarantine authorities are examining samples collected from 375 pig farms in the Gyeonggi and Gangwon areas. There are no other sites that have been confirmed positive apart from the two Hwacheon areas yet. Quarantine authorities have said no further reports of suspicion have been received. However, with the outbreak of African swine fever in non-wild farms, quarantine authorities are alerting. For this reason, the temporary suspension orders in the Gyeonggi and Gangwon areas have been extended for one more day. The Central African Swine Fever Accident Control Headquarters decided to maintain the temporary suspension order issued for pig farms, livestock facilities and livestock vehicles in Gyeonggi-Gangwon for an additional 24 hours. Consequently, the temporary suspension order will be increased from 5 am today to 5 am tomorrow. So far, the Ministry of Economy has delivered it. Hyunwoo Kim [[email protected]]
