Can people who have been to places with swine fever go to other pig houses?

African swine fever is an acute, hemorrhagic and severe infectious disease caused by African swine fever virus infecting domestic pigs or various wild boars. The World Organization for Animal Health has listed it as a legally reported animal epidemic, which is also a kind of animal epidemic that China focuses on preventing.

The incubation period of African swine fever is 5 to 15 days, which is difficult for managers to find in the early stage. In this special period, the transportation and management of pigs should be strictly controlled, and it is forbidden to transport pigs carrying viruses or even infected pigs to other areas, resulting in the large-scale spread of African swine fever. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of a harmless treatment system for sick pigs, strengthen the professional knowledge of relevant staff and the knowledge of African swine fever, so as to achieve safe and standardized operation and kill the virus at the source.

Personal prevention of African swine fever should prevent mosquitoes and flies, nail screen windows and hang fly-killing lights in the house. Rodents should also be killed regularly, and it is forbidden to keep cats and dogs in pens. The disinfection of pig farms should also be implemented, and the disinfection inside and outside pig houses should be done regularly. Transport vehicles such as daily necessities, medicines and feed must be strictly cleaned and disinfected before entering the venue, especially pig-pulling vehicles.
