The inclusion of Catubig town in the list of areas with ASF infection has alarmed local authorities prompting the discussion of strategies on how to control or prevent the spread of ASF in their respective towns, said Northern Samar provincial information officer John Allen Berbon in a phone interview Thursday. “Among the recommendations from the office of the provincial veterinarian are the strict enforcement of biosecurity measures in the communities and border checkpoint and monitoring of live pigs and pork products in all towns,” Berbon added.
