Local authorities in the southern part of Sugbo have implemented a quarantine measure to protect pigs from the spread of African Swine Fever (ASF). The initiative targets pigs from neighboring towns affected by the disease, particularly in Moalboal. Officials aim to prevent the virus from spreading further by isolating infected animals and monitoring their health.
The quarantine is part of a broader effort to control the outbreak, which has already impacted several regions. Farmers are being urged to report any signs of illness in their livestock promptly. The measure is expected to reduce the risk of ASF spreading to other areas, ensuring the safety of both animals and the local economy.
Authorities are working closely with veterinary services to monitor the situation and provide necessary support to affected farmers. The move highlights the growing concern over ASF and the need for coordinated action to contain the disease.
