The Cebu Provincial Government has announced the extension of its ban on live hogs and pork products from regions impacted by African swine fever. The new restriction will last for another 45 days, bringing the total duration of the ban to 135 days. The decision follows ongoing efforts to control the spread of the disease among pig populations.
Authorities have emphasized the importance of maintaining the ban to prevent further contamination and protect the livestock industry. The move comes as part of a broader strategy to manage the outbreak and ensure food safety. Local officials have also urged farmers and traders to comply with the regulations to safeguard public health.
The ban affects both the sale and transportation of pork products from affected areas. This measure is expected to continue until the situation is fully under control. Health officials are monitoring the situation closely and may adjust the timeline based on the latest developments.
