Fear of MRSA get the government to examine how they can prohibit schools visit pig farms with MRSA infection.

Folk School classes should not take a visit to pig farmers.

It has Health Minister Nick Hækkerup (S) and decided today. 

The ban is not yet in force...

...MRSA CC398, which is found in pigs to humans. Infections cannot be treated with common antibiotics and must be treated with special antibiotics.
