The Minister of Agriculture of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Òscar Ordeig, announced in an interview with RAC1 that the confinement period in the twenty-kilometer security area will be extended for two months from the last confirmed case.
This security zone includes municipalities such as Cerdanyola del Vallès and the Collserola Natural Park, maintaining restricted access to the natural environment to prevent the spread of the disease.
“"The confinement for the swine fever outbreak in the twenty-kilometer area will be extended two months from the last detected positive."
So far, thirteen cases of swine fever have been confirmed in the affected area. The last positive wild boar was detected on December 5. If no more cases are found, restrictions would be lifted exactly two months later, on February 5, following the Minister's statements.
