SEOUL, April 12 (Xinhua) -- South Korea has downgraded its alert level for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) one notch1 as the disease has practically come to an end, the Ministry2 for Food, Agriculture, Forestry3 and Fisheries said Tuesday.
The
ministry（政府部门） said that it lowered the alert level from "orange" to "yellow," the second-lowest status in the four-tiered alert system, as no additional burial of
livestock4 has occurred in three weeks after the last case in Hongseong, South Chungcheong Province, on March 21.
The country dropped the alert level from the highest level of " red" to "orange" on March 24.
The highly
contagious5 animal disease, first confirmed on Nov. 29, has forced the country to
cull6 more than 3.47 million livestock, mostly pigs and cattle, resulting in losses of 3 trillion won (2.6 billion U.S. dollars).
The ministry, meanwhile, said that 670 animal quarantine experts will continue to decontaminate livestock farms once every week and keep close watch to see if any animals become sick.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
