KOTA KINABALU: African Swine Fever (ASF) has resurfaced in Sabah, detected in 12 pigs at a farm in Keningau district on Jan 7, Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan announced.
"The detection of ASF cases again classifies Keningau district as a Red Zone (Infected Zone) from its current status of a green zone (Recovery Zone)," he said on Sunday (Jan 12).
The actions include immediate restrictions on the movement of pigs and pig products from the Keningau district.
He assured that the pork supply ahead of the Chinese New Year celebration is sufficient from local pig farms in Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, and Tawau.
All commercial pig farms in Tawau, Sandakan, Tenom, Papar, Tuaran, and Penampang remain ASF free.
