Authorities are restricting hunting, berry picking and forestry work in parts of southeastern Finland after African swine fever was found in three wild boar piglets, Yle News reported. The measures are meant to reduce the risk of the disease spreading further.

The detection marks Finland’s first confirmed case of African swine fever, making the situation significant for both wild animal populations and domestic pig farming. For now, the main message from officials is that people in the area should follow the restrictions while next steps are assessed.
