Concerning the current outbreak of African swine fever in some European countries, the Institute of Public Health informs the public that this is a viral disease in pigs, which does not pose a public health risk, ie people do not get the disease because they are not susceptible to the virus which causes the disease.
More information on the disease and its significance and impact can be found on the Food and Veterinary Agency’s website at: http://fva.gov.mk/mk/afrikanska-cuma-divi-svinji
