According to the announcement of the Government Gazette dated 20 November 2023, the suspension for the importation or transit of live domestic pig and wild pigs and their carcasses from Italy has expired on 19 February 2024. However, the WOAH has reported a continued outbreak of African Swine Fever in the area of Italy. Therefore, it is necessary for Thailand to prevent the entry of African Swine Fever disease into the country. By virtue of the Animal Epidemics Act B.E. 2558 (2015), the importation or transit of live domestic and wild pigs and their carcasses from Italy is temporarily suspended for a period of 90 days since 19 February 2024 onward in the Thai Royal Gazette.
