Raivo Heinam is the head of PTA. He says the risk of disease is high.
Previously, the disease was found at the EKSEKO farm. From there, pigs moved to other farms. This is a problem.
Among wild boars, the spread of the disease is very high. In September and August, many infected pigs were found.
In Viljandi County, Metsküla, they plan to create a burial site. No decision has been made yet.
Raivo Heinam says that burial is the last option. Currently, Atria's unit is being used.
The disease spreads to farms when the background level in the forest is high. The state is making a plan to help the sector.
The situation is tense. It is recommended to eat Estonian food.
