The decision was taken at the emergency meeting of the Commission for Emergency Situations, where the authorities analyzed the situation and approved an action plan to combat the virus.

African swine fever is a highly contagious viral disease that affects domestic pigs and wild boars, but poses no danger to humans. However, the impact on the livestock sector is major, and the expansion of outbreaks can lead to significant economic losses and disruptions to pork supplies.
