Czech breeders introduce preventive measures against the spread of infection, the government is considering deploying the army on border controls.
The Agrarian Chamber (AK) of the Czech Republic on Wednesday called on the Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala for his government to take further precautionary measures against the introduction of the clinker and the crochet to the Czech Republic. For example, it requires checks at the border with all neighboring states or individual control and a thorough disinfection of all vehicles that come to the Czech Republic from Slovakia. If the Czech Republic stated this on her website, the TASR newsletter in Prague informs.
According to the President of the Chamber Jan Doležal, thorough preventive measures are essential at the moment. The Chamber has repeatedly called on breeders to follow the instructions of the State Veterinary Administration (SVS) of the Czech Republic. “Given that the spread of the infection would subsequently be liquidated for the entire livestock, pigs and sheep, we called on Prime Minister Petr Fial to introduce further measures,” said Doležal.
In addition to the maximum protection of borders with all neighboring countries, the Chamber requires the government to introduce a prohibition of import and transport of live livestock to the Czech Republic or through its territory from all neighboring countries. It would also want the requirement for control of milk samples to apply to breeding in the Slovak Republic in those regions that neighbors the Czech Republic. In addition, for example, it wants the situation to be addressed at the European Commission level and to be initiated by the assistance of the affected countries with the killing of animals.
The requirements of the Agrarian Chamber of the Czech Republic were also supported by the Agricultural Union of the Czech Republic, the Chamber of the Czech Republic and the Initiative of Agricultural and Food Companies.
According to Doležal, Czech breeders do to prevent the spread of the infection, which is in their power. “Right from the start, they canceled the public shares, do not allow unauthorized persons to keep, when they enter or enter the area, they install disinfectant mats for workers and disinfectants for vehicles for vehicles, supervise that feed and water do not get into contact with wild animals.
The government on Wednesday at its regular meeting decides on the deployment of members of the army, who should start helping controls at selected border crossings this week.
