SEOUL - North Korea has stepped up measures to prevent the spread of the highly contagious and deadly African swine fever, its main state newspaper said on Wednesday, breaking its silence on the outbreak which was first reported in late May.
In late May, North Korea reported an outbreak of African swine fever to the World Organisation for Animal Health , South Korea’s agriculture ministry said but the North has not made any official comment on its outbreak. “Increasing livestock production goes hand in hand with raising farm animals safe from various diseases,” said Kim according to the newspaper.
Preventative measures include disinfecting farms and restricting sales of pork and processed meat, the newspaper said.
