On the other hand, African swine fever has not been established in any domestic pigs since September 17.
As reported, the state of emergency that was declared in more than 40 administrative territories of Latvia due to African swine fever last year, was lifted on January 1, 2015, the Agriculture Ministry informed LETA.
The ministry told LETA that the state of emergency could be reintroduced in case the disease hits new administrative territories.
Territories hit by African swine fever have been applied with transport restrictions on live pigs and pork products until December 31, 2018.
These territories will undergo various preventive measures also after January 1, the ministry said.
