AFRICAN SWINE
FLU – ASF
This disease has now arrived in Sweden, which means we
need your help to minimise the risk of it spreading further.
Advice to orienteers
If you have trained or competed in a part of the country
affected by swine flu, clean and dry all your clothes and
equipment carefully before you take it back out into the
forest. Clothes should be washed at 60 or 40 degrees and
left to dry indoors for at least seven days. Shoes should
be cleaned carefully and left to air off indoors for at least
seven days.
Equipment can be disinfected by leaving it in a sauna
at over 60 degrees, for at least 30 minutes. If you’re unsure
of whether it is clean enough, buy new equipment.
Never leave litter in the forest, including leftover food –
take it home or leave it in a bin.
If you find any ill or dead wild boar in the forest, report
this to the Swedish Veterinary Agency – SVA.

FULL BODY COVER
When competing, you must wear full body cover to
protect you against cuts and scratches. This is also
recommended for training. Full body cover means clothes
must cover your legs and torso. Long trousers and a
T-shirt are fine. You can cover any holes in your clothes
using tape, but please do this before you go through
verification. There is no tape available at the start or with
any helpers!
