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. During the celebrations that takes place in April in Southeast Asian nations such as Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Myanmar and Thailand, the number of travellers as well as delivery of gift may increase. 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.
