The weekly report also detailed that there are five suspect sites (which have positive results from the labs but no clinical disease manifestation to date), 29 sites (including one new one) under sanitary fallow (which have previously had outbreaks or suspect sites without fish) and 13 sites in risk areas (without presence or clinical disease manifestation but located within an infected area) - two of which still have fish.
