Taiwan just reported its first-ever suspected cases of African Swine Fever on Wednesday. The virus is almost always fatal to swine, leading authorities to swiftly cull 195 pigs at the affected Taichung farm in central Taiwan.
The agriculture ministry is taking strict measures to isolate the virus, including thorough disinfection and establishing a control zone. There is currently a five-day ban on transporting and slaughtering pigs across Taiwan.
The country prohibits bringing in any meat or meat products – particularly pork – without inspection and quarantine. Fines for bringing in these products illegally can reach up to US$32,000.
