Miklós Süth reminded that the pathogen was identified in three farms in the neighboring Csallóköz. The Deputy Rector called it extremely important for animal keepers and animal care to pay great attention to the behavior of animals, the possible lesions, and to immediately notify the leader of the colony immediately. It is obliged to notify the care veterinarian immediately, and the veterinarian has an immediate duty to notify the competent authority, he explained. Attention must be strengthened after events in the neighboring country show that the virus has not disappeared completely from the region, he stressed. Miklós Süth emphasized that if the disease is confirmed somewhere, the measures to date must continue to be taken, the animals should be killed immediately to prevent the epidemic from spreading. Just as the defensive measures, the protective area and the observation area have spread to Slovakia in the Hungarian case, it will now spread from the neighboring country to Hungary, he said. The next few days will be a turning point, again the question of whether there will be another colony where the symptoms and the clear signs of the disease appear, he said. He added that, as in recent days, both authorities will do their work intensively to protect the livestock in both countries. Miklós Süth also said that on Saturday students at the University of Veterinary are starting the work, helping teams of three people in teams of three.
