Inspection Checklist for African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV)

People exposed to this influenza-like illness may experience flu-like symptoms such as a sore throat, cough, runny nose, body aches, or fever. Public health officials have been conducting research on the African Swine Fever virus and it's vaccine for disease control. Special precautions must be put in place when handling the virus in a controlled laboratory setting to prevent both people and pigs from spreading the virus. This app for an Inspection Checklist for African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) will help users navigate the process of handling the swine flu, as well as outline procedures on what personal protective equipment to wear, which HEPA air filters need to be in place, and how to handle contamination situations of the virus through control measures and early detection systems to minimize chances for infection, and spread of the disease. The procedures also distinguish between in-vitro diagnostics, in-vito treatment, and in-vivo work situations, which may have additional steps in the inspection or quarantine process. This app also outlines the quarantine policy for personnel handling, and the proximity of the laboratory to pigs and other swine animals including wild boars and more. Personnel should also be aware of other animals they are in contact with after handing the virus.
