Although the release states that the disease has been detected specifically in the Diamare Division, measures have been taken to contain it from spreading to neighbouring regions. To this effect the selling and slaughtering of pigs has been banned, movement of pigs in and out of Diamare Divison has also been prohibited.

Meanwhile, all pigs within the infected zone are expected to be killed.

The decision stresses that these preventive measures shall be lifted 40 days after the disappearance of the last case and disinfection of infected premises and objects.
