The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has decided to strengthen border measures such as thorough disinfection in airports and ports to prevent African swine fever cholera and other infections that are spreading in Asia.
In response to the spread of swine cholera infection, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism held a countermeasure meeting in the morning on the 4th.
In this, Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Akabane said, “To prevent the invasion of swine cholera and African swine cholera at the water's edge, it is necessary to steadily implement measures in close cooperation with the relevant ministries and agencies.”
In this regard, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has collaborated with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to disinfect the shoe soles of tourists visiting overseas and to enter and exit port facilities in order to prevent the infectious African swine fever from entering the country. It is said that thorough disinfection of vehicles will be done.
In order to prevent travelers from bringing in meat products that are not allowed to be brought into the country, we are asking airlines and others to thoroughly inform the travelers.
Furthermore, in order to prevent the reputational damage associated with the spread of swine cholera infection, we will seek cooperation from travel agencies and other agencies to provide accurate information, such as the fact that swine cholera does not infect humans.
