The Finnish Food Administration said on the 12th that due to the discovery of more wild boars infected with the African swine fever virus, it will expand the previously designated core area of the epidemic and prohibit hunting and other activities within this area to prevent the further spread of the epidemic. The Finnish Food Administration confirmed on July 30 that the African swine fever virus was detected in dead wild boars in Virolahti in the southeastern part of the country. This is the first time that a case of African swine fever has been detected in the country. The Finnish Food Administration immediately announced that activities such as hunting, harvesting, and forestry operations were prohibited within this area, centering on the site where infected wild boars were discovered and an area with a radius of about 3 km.
