Russia has proposed introducing mandatory disinfection of cars

The State Duma will consider a bill proposing to introduce mandatory disinfection of transport arriving in Russia from countries with an adverse epizootic situation, that is, the spread of infectious diseases in animals. It is therefore proposed to protect our agricultural sector against ‘significant economic damage’.

According to Parlamentskaya Gazeta, the introduction of mandatory disinfection of transport was proposed by the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Agrarian Issues, Yulia Ogloblina. According to the bill, if an international organization or authorities of a foreign state bordering Russia receive information about the occurrence of an outbreak of an infectious disease in animals on its territory, all cars coming from this country will be disinfected at the border until the epidemic is eliminated.

“Diseases such as African swine fever, foot and mouth disease and sheep and goat pox can cause significant economic damage to our agricultural sector as they lead to the death of the entire livestock on a livestock farm,” Ogloblina stressed.

She also noted that the epizootic situation in many countries bordering Russia is not only unfavorable, but also continues to deteriorate. Disinfection of cars will prevent or at least reduce the risk of importing animal diseases, including particularly dangerous ones, the deputy noted.
