After the detection of dead boar positive to ASF in the area of Meix-devant-Virton, a few kilometers away from the border with France, the Belgian authorities have decided to build a new additional 15-km-long fence in the area located between Florenville and Virton, that will join the already existing 30-km-long fence.
