The government says the Sheung Shui slaughterhouse has been disinfected and will restart operations on Thursday.

The abattoir has been closed since last Friday after a pig from the mainland was confirmed to have the African swine fever virus, leading to the cull of over 4,000 pigs.

The government says the Sheung Shui facility will now slaughter all pigs within 24 hours of their arrival and disinfect pig-sties daily to minimise the chances of infection.

The slaughterhouse was also forced to shut its doors, and cull thousands of pigs, just a few weeks ago after another mainland pig was found with the swine fever virus.
