Classical Swine Fever

To all climbers, campers and those working in the forest

Please help prevent the spread of the swine fever virus.

A disease called swine fever is spreading among wild boars. It does not infect humans, but

It infects pigs and causes great damage to the pig farming industry.

Please help us not to bring the virus back from the forest.

1. The virus is also contained in soil. Wash off the mud from your shoes by going to the mountains.

② Please take any leftover food home with you to avoid attracting wild boars.

③Do not approach facilities where livestock are kept.

④If you find a dead wild boar, please contact your local government.
