What You Need to Know About COVID-19

March 18, 2020 — 

U.S. and state governmental leaders are working with public health officials to respond to a global outbreak of respiratory illnesses caused by a new coronavirus. Although there is no scientific evidence this viral outbreak is related to pigs or pork, the control measures designed to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 are having an impact on our businesses, communities, and people.

The National Pork Board compiled resources to connect our industry with the best information about the current situation, emergency planning tools, recommended control measures, and talking points.

AASV is also compiling resources that swine veterinarians might find helpful. Look for resources on the AASV website later this week.
