South Korea says tests on dead pigs from two farms near its border with North Korea came back negative for African swine fever, temporarily easing fears over the spread of the illness that has ravaged pig herds across Asia.
Disinfectant solution is sprayed from a vehicle as a precaution against African swine fever near a pig farm in Paju, South Korea, Friday, Sept. 20, 2019. South Korea said Friday that it is investigating two more suspected cases of African swine fever from farms near its border with North Korea, as fears grow over the spread of the illness that has decimated pig herds across Asia.
South Korea’s Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs said it will continue to maintain an elevated level of quarantine and preventive efforts at farms near the border following an outbreak that was confirmed earlier this week. Officials had tested samples of three dead pigs from two other farms in Paju on Friday after they were suspected of African swine fever infection.
The agriculture ministry said the next three weeks will be crucial for fighting the outbreak, considering the disease’s incubation periods.
