Thus, the entire northern and western areas of the city have now been invaded by African swine fever.
We are focusing on isolating the epidemic area and at the same time directing the communes with the epidemic to strictly implement the anti-epidemic plans according to the instructions. For the wards and communes that have not had the epidemic, the city has raised the warning level to the highest level to propagate to the people and local authorities to raise the spirit of epidemic prevention, avoiding widespread spread.
