The number of cattle farms with confirmed lumpy skin disease(LSD) infections has risen to 75.

Authorities announced the new tally as of 8 a.m. Friday following the confirmation of one infection in Seosan in South Chungcheong Province, adding that they are currently conducting tests for seven suspected cases.

The government plans to vaccinate all four million-70-thousand cattle in the nation by next Friday, with the completion rate standing at 69 percent as of 2 p.m. Thursday as two-point-four million cows were inoculated.

While the number of new daily infections decreased from last month, the authorities plan to maintain the current quarantine system as the situation may change any time.

LSD is a virus transmitted by blood-feeding insects, including flies and mosquitoes, that does not affect humans and causes fever and skin nodules, with a fatality rate below ten percent.
