BRATISLAVA, Slovakia- As Slovakia continues its efforts to rid the country of foot-and-mouth disease, after a state of emergency was declared across the whole country on Tuesday.

A new outbreak of the disease has been detected in Hungary, approximately 15 kilometres from the Slovak border near Bratislava.

Disinfection mats have been installed at Hungarian border crossings, veterinarians are monitoring the situation in the field, and the disposal of infected animals is ongoing.

Minister of Agriculture Richard Takáč provided details about the situation during a press conference.

"In Hungary, another farm has been confirmed to have the viral disease foot-and-mouth," he said. "It is situated 40 kilometres from the first farm where the virus was confirmed in Hungary on 6 March."

Takáč has also confirmed a fourth case of the disease in a livestock farm in the Slovak village of Lúč na Ostrove.

President Peter Pellegrini called for a strict adherence to measures to stop the outbreaks from exploding into a full-blown epidemic, which could trigger shortages of milk and meat.
