The core area has been extended by approximately 9 km to the northeast, towards Rummuntie and Tervajoki in Lappeenranta.
The boundaries of the infected zone itself remain unchanged.
The decision was taken after ASF was confirmed in a wild boar shot in Lappeenranta. According to the Finnish veterinary authorities, the case indicates that the virus continues to spread actively in the region.
