123 cases of swine fever detected - Fence construction in Frankfurt

To contain the African swine fever (ASP), a solid game protection fence is also to be built in Frankfurt (Oder) on the border with Poland. The city administration announced on Monday that the general animal disease decree had been amended accordingly. The construction of the 10 to 12 kilometer long fence is to begin shortly. In the southern districts of Oder-Spree and Spree-Neisse, intensive work is already underway on the construction of fences on the German-Polish border.

The State Ministry of Health reported 7 more ASF cases on Monday. This increased the total number of confirmed cases to 123 in Brandenburg.

The first nationwide outbreak of the disease in wild boar was officially established on September 10 in Brandenburg. According to the latest findings, infected animals perished in the first half of July.

 

[etudiant]

What does the construction of a 12 km fence do other than to create some jobs?
Pigs are very mobile and will easily run around this little impediment. Moreover, they already have, as the infections within Brandenburg date back to July.
The authorities seem just as ineffectual in this instance as they have proven to be in addressing the Covid pandemic.
This is not good for our social cohesion and political harmony, irrespective of the economic and health aspects.

 

[Gert van der Hoek]

So far there have been 124 positively confirmed cases in the wild boar population in Germany. In Germany the domestic pig population is still free of ASF.

Vous pourriez d?vellopper ceci : "car les infections dans le Brandebourg remontent ? juillet."

Je partage une partie de vos remarques, ce n'est pas une cloture , mais une zone blanche qui doit ?tre faite en Allemagne et pas que l? d'ailleurs. C'est le seul truc qui marche , voir Belgique...

There is no way to protect the pigs with preventive vaccination. The disease can be transmitted directly from animal to animal or indirectly via contaminated objects (clothing, shoes, vehicles) and food to other areas by humans. ASF is not contagious or dangerous for humans or other animal species.
