Installing fences<\/h2>\n

Germany is trying to contain the outbreak by placing fixed fences along the banks of the Oder and Neisse rivers. These rivers form the border with Poland. There are still many new sources of infection in the west of Poland. Since November 2019, the number of ASF cases in Poland has risen to 4,380 (figures from mid-April). In addition, the infected zones are also demarcated with fences. Within this, all wild pigs will be culled to prevent further spread of the ASF virus in the population. <\/p>\n

The European Union promised 9 million euros to Germany last week for the fight against ASF. This sum will mainly be used for the construction of these fixed fences in the affected federal states. <\/p>\n

Export to China<\/h2>\n

Germany, meanwhile, is trying to convince China to reopen its borders to German pork from the other states, as there is no ASF there. The German Minister of Agriculture Julia Kl\u00f6ckner and her Chinese counterpart Tang Renjian had already discussed this issue, but the trade barriers have not yet been lifted. <\/p>\n
