According to the announcement of the Government Gazette dated 13 February 2020, the suspension for importation of live domestic and wild pigs and their carcasses from Philippines has already expired on 13 May 2020. However, the OIE has reported a continued outbreak of African Swine Fever (ASF) in area of Philippines. Therefore, it is necessary for Thailand to prevent the entry of African Swine Fever (ASF) disease into the country. By the virtue of Animal Epidemics Act B.E. 2558 (2015), the importation of live domestic and wild pigs and their carcasses from Philippines is temporarily suspended for a period of 90 days after publication in the Thai Royal Gazette (5 June 2020).
