Driver Ngo Van Ty was fined 7 million VND by the authorities for transporting animal products out of the province without a quarantine certificate. The entire shipment was confiscated and handed over to Dien Chau Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station for handling according to the law.
Although African swine fever has broken out in 18/39 communes and towns of Dien Chau district, the transportation of pig products through the area is still complicated.
