African swine fever (ASF) has arrived in Germany. According to Gundula Teltewskaja, alderman in the Oder-Spree district, the virus was detected in a wild boar in the neighboring Spree-Neisse district - in the Sembten district, a district of the Schenkend?bern community. The site is located in the immediate vicinity of pig stocks in Oder-Spree, she explained to the Committee on Building, Order and Environment. For Thursday she has scheduled a meeting of the ASP district disaster management team.
Delimitation and security of the pig population
The most important task is no longer the construction of a permanent protective fence to Poland, but the demarcation of the place of discovery and the safeguarding of the pig population. A fence is now being drawn in a four-kilometer radius around the site . This area clearly extends into the Oder-Spree district . The Neuzelle office is apparently particularly affected. The district bought the necessary fence material months ago. The neighboring district of Dahme-Spreewald is also preparing for an ASF outbreak. A few days ago, several cooling cells were put into operation there, including one in Lieberose, in which fallen game can be stored.
Wild boar carcass is examined
In an initial assessment, Teltewskaya assumes that there are no domestic pig herds within a four-kilometer radius. Exactly this could only be clarified on Thursday. It is also clear that there must be another, more extensive circle of protection. Details will be discussed tomorrow morning. Your goal is to have determined all the necessary measures by 8:30 a.m. at the latest.
The Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture confirms that a sample of the wild boar carcass is on its way to the Friedrich Loeffler Institute. There it is examined virologically.
