Two new cases of African swine fever were confirmed this morning in Paju and Gimpo in Gyeonggi-do Province, near the inter-Korean border,... bringing the total number of affected farms to 13.
The case in Paju is the third case reported in the same area over a 48-hour period,... following the government's confirmation of two outbreaks there on Wednesday.
Due to difficult flying conditions from the effects of Typhoon Mitag,... blood samples from the pigs are being transported by road instead of helicopter,... which could cause delays in inspections.
