Actions taken by Mongolia: Control measures have been implemented [reference1, reference2].
Actions taken by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea: The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea developed the National Strategy for ASF prevention and control during 2020-2025 (issued in May 2021).
Actions taken by the Republic of Korea: MAFRA launched "Special Quarantine Period" from October 2024 to February 2025 to mitigate ASF transmission during winter season, preventing the southward movement of wild boars, and strengthening biosecurity on farms [reference1, reference2]. Meanwhile, on 28 October, the Ministry of Environment (ME) and the Cultural Heritage Administration jointly launched additional conservation measures for Long-tailed Goral (Naemorhedus caudatus) which is the Korean Natural Monument n.217 and a Class 1 Endangered Wild Animal designated by the ME. The measures include partially opening the ASF fences. Some 21 points of the fence in the northern part of Gangwon Province (Inje, Yanggu, etc.) have already been opened since 24 May 2024; additional 23 points will be opened to allow the mountain goats move within their ecosystems during winter [reference3]. According to media, on 30 October, Gunwi-gun and Daegu Metropolitan City conducted the “ASF Virtual Quarantine Training” to establish a system to respond quickly in the event of an infectious disease outbreak and to minimize damage to farms by improving livestock quarantine capabilities. The training simulated the entire process from initial response to culling and strengthening quarantine measures [reference4]. To control ASF in wild boars, Gyeongsangbuk-do increased the number of wild board capture traps to 1 100. These traps have Global Positioning System (GPS) signal transmitters, that could help the authorities to immediate response through real-time transmission of capture signals and improve animal welfare of the captured wild boar by reducing stress time [reference5]. In response to the latest outbreak on a pig farm in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do, disease quarantine and epidemiological investigation teams were sent to the farm, a 24-hour temporary stand-still order was placed from 12 a.m 3 November for workers and vehicles at all livestock-related facilities in Hongcheon and six cities and counties in Gangwon-do and two counties in Gyeonggi-do [reference6].
Actions taken by China: In April 2021, MARA issued the “Work Plan for Regional Prevention and Control of African Swine Fever and Other Major Animal Diseases (Trial)”. The whole country was divided into five regions, and pig movement has been restricted only within the region.

Actions taken by the Philippines: The reduced tariff rates of imported pork has been extended until 31 December 2024 [reference1, reference2]. The local authorities are mandated to strictly follow the National Zoning and Movement Plan depending on the level of ASF risks [reference3]. In La Union, the policy on the depopulation radius from the index case was reduced to 500 meters, and in accordance with DA Administrative Order No.10 (15 August 2024) pigs tested positive for ASF virus will be culled but those tested negative can be immediately slaughtered for consumption since September 2024 [reference4, reference5]. DA has announced their “rules of engagement” that farmers must follow in order to participate in government-controlled ASF vaccine program [reference6]. After DA received 10 000 doses of ASF vaccine on 19 August 2024, the first government controlled ASF vaccination was started in Lobo, Batangas, for healthy growers in Red Zones as response to the resurgence of ASF [reference7, reference8]. DA reported that in two backyard farms in Lobo, Batangas, 34 out of the 41 vaccinated pigs (82.9%) developed antibodies after 30 days under the first government-controlled vaccination using AVAC live vaccines. After receiving these results, DA expanded the government-control vaccination to Lipas, Batangas on 5 October [reference9, reference10, reference11]. The next round of ASF vaccination will be implemented in Quezon, Rizal, Laguna, Occidental Mindoro and North Cotabato using additional 150 000 doses of AVAC live vaccines from Viet Nam, and the controlled vaccination programme will later be expanded to include commercial farms nationwide [reference12, reference13, reference14].

Actions taken by Bhutan: The authority implemented 3D (Depopulation, Disposal and Disinfection) operation, surveillance, quarantine, movement control, awareness raising, import ban, and encouraged farmers to adopt good pig farming practices [reference1]. The Government is advising people to refrain from illegal importation of pigs and the products, and to farmers not to feed pigs with kitchen/hotel/restaurant waste containing pork and pork products, other kitchen waste should be cooked before feeding pigs, prevent contact between domestic and wild pigs, and stop visitors entering farms [reference2].
Actions taken by Nepal: In response to the ASF outbreaks in Myagdi District in Gandaki Province, authorities requested pig raisers to isolate any ASF suspected pigs and report without delay, and dispose dead pigs by burial [reference] according to media.
Actions taken by India: The Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying (DAHD) released the Disease Control Strategy Plan in June 2020 as guidance for State / Union territory (UT) Governments for ASF prevention, control and containment [reference1]. Individual ASF detected area implements control measures with reference to the guidance. India has released the statistics on the number of pigs lost due to ASF by state during 2022 -2023 [reference2]. Mizoram State declared various villages and localities in ASF affected districts as infected areas and imposed the prohibition of pig export and import from/to infected areas, the sale or slaughter of both healthy and sick pigs within infected areas, and requested Central Government to provide financial assistant for pig farmers affected by ASF [reference3, reference4]. On 14 October, the Mizoram State Department of Disaster Management and Rehabilitation (DM&R) issued a notification on norms and guidelines for disaster relief for ASF virus outbreak. ASF is now declared as a State Specific Disaster and a notified natural calamity for 2024. Assistance for the losses caused by this State Specific Disaster will be covered by State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) [reference5]. DAHD, in collaboration with FAO and US Agency for International Development (USAID), drafted Standard Veterinary Treatment Guidelines (SVTG) and called for public comments [reference6]. India published the Year-wise Details of Amount Loss of Suffered by Farmers on Account Loss of Livestock due to ASF in Pigs as Per National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) from 2020 to 2022 [reference7].
Actions taken by Sri Lanka: The Department of Animal Production and Health released an ‘extraordinary order under ANIMAL DISEASES ACT, NO. 59 OF 1992’ on ASF and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), designated entire Sri Lanka as ‘infected or suspected area’ and applying control measures including: Ban on movement, sale, exposure for sale, offering for sale, store, supply or distribution of pigs, pork, pork products and infected materials; suspension of slaughtering susceptible species and further processing of pork, artificial breeding procedures, live animal markets, shows and competitions involving the susceptible species; dumping carcasses to water or leaving carcass or any part to allow other animal to consume or taking away [reference1]. The Department of Animal Production and Health traced back the recent outbreak of ASF to the distribution of leftover food from ships and airplanes. food scraps from international vessels/flights have been given to pigs on local farms, according to media [reference2]. A new order came into force on 4 November has relaxed the pork sales ban, while ban on piglet sales and restocking of farms are continued. ASF-free pigs that are inspected and certified by the regional department can be transported to and slaughtered at a registered slaughterhouse, the meat can be stored, processed at a registered facility, sold at a meat shop or to hotels, according to media [reference3, reference4].
ASF virus can be transmitted through pork and pork products (raw/frozen/dried/under-cooked) in which the virus can survive for a long time. Intensive border/customs control of passengers’ luggage, parcels at international post offices is recommended. The test results of border control in China showed the new reassortant ASF virus may be transported by travellers. Warning signs should be placed clearly at the border/customs entry including airports and seaports, stating the consequences of bringing pork and pork products from ASF-infected countries/regions, and instructing passengers to discard pork products in designated disposal places or to hand over to the customs personnel.
