The authority confirmed the swine fever in two towns - namely Qinglonghu and Liulihe, both in Fangshan district. Among 1,325 pigs raised at a farm in Qinglonghu, 49 pigs were confirmed dead. Among 429 pigs raised at a farm in Liulihe, 37 pigs were confirmed dead. The ministry has sent a working team to the affected area, while the local authorities have initiated an emergency response to block, cull and disinfect the affected pigs.
