However, the OIE has reported a continued outbreak of African Swine Fever in Cambodia. Therefore, it is necessary for Thailand to prevent the entry of African Swine Fever disease into the country. By the virtue of Animal Epidemics Act B.E. 2558, the importation of live domestic and wild pigs and their carcasses from Cambodia is temporarily suspended for a period of 90 days after publication in the Thai Royal Gazette (25 November 2019).
