ASF Hong Kong: First pig farm infected
Hong Kong authorities have culled about 245 pigs on a farm site in the north of the city state, because African Swine Fever (ASF) was discovered there. It is the 1st time that ASF was found on a Hong Kong farm.
The new outbreak was discovered on a 3,200 pig farm in the Yuen Long area, in the north near the mainland China border. It is the 4
th time that the virus has been reported in Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China. In earlier cases the virus was found in pigs that were imported from mainland China. In those cases batches at slaughterhouses needed to be culled. These all happened at the Sheung Shui slaughterhouse, in May (2x) and September 2019.
