A month after the discovery of the outbreak, there are still no signs that the infection has spread further in the country.
49 infected wild boars have been found, none of them outside the so-called core area.

If no new infected pigs are found outside the core area, it may be appropriate to reduce the cordoned off zone and ease the restrictions at the beginning of December.
