Latvia declared a three-month state of emergency on January 17, 2017, in three regions after an African swine fever outbreak at a farm with more than 5,000 pigs. Hundreds of pigs are expected to be culled, and the government has earmarked 100,000 euros for the response.
The disease has been found in wild boar since 2014.
