Federal Army Aids in Addressing Mouth and Claw Ailment in Lower Austria

The Austrian Armed Forces will begin active duty at the border crossings in Hohenau (district of Gänserndorf) and Berg (district of Bruck an der Leitha) from Monday, as announced by the provincial councilor Susanne Rosenkranz (FPO) on Thursday. This deployment is a response to the outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in both Slovakia and Hungary, which share a border with Austria.

The deployment is aimed at implementing disinfection measures at the Austrian borders. Currently, no specific details about the disinfection measures have been provided. The road service has been managing disease mats at open border crossings between Lower Austria and Slovakia, but this task will be taken over by the Austrian Armed Forces starting next week.

No new information about the Military Command NO., responsible for the disposal measures at the Lower Austria border following the FMD outbreaks in neighboring countries, has been disclosed. Additionally, no specific timeline for the duration of the deployment has been mentioned in the article.

Despite the deployment, waiting times at the border controls remained manageable, with a maximum of 15 minutes, according to police spokesman Stefan Loidl. The controls introduced at the border to Slovakia on Saturday ran 'very quietly' with no incidents.

As of the current report, all test results in Lower Austria have been negative. No new information about the assistance request made by Lower Austria or the response from the Military Command NO. has been provided in the current paragraph. The search results do not contain information about the name of the military command responsible for disposal measures at the Lower Austria border following FMD outbreaks in neighboring countries.
