Confirmed cases of lumpy skin disease in Korea have reached 100 as of Friday, with health authorities predicting that the peak of the cattle disease will occur later this month.
The country has reported 101 confirmed cases, including three new infections from the previous day, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
Last week, Korea completed the inoculation of all 4.05 million cattle in the country.
Authorities, however, anticipate additional infections for the time being, considering the typical three-week period for cattle to develop antibodies.
