These ten new positives were detected within the radius of the first confirmed outbreak in the Cerdanyola del Vallès area. This update confirms the presence of the disease in a total of 26 wild animals since the outbreak began on November 28.
The Spanish Government detailed in a statement that more than 200 carcasses of animals found in the natural environment or on roads and railway lines in the infected area have been analyzed, all of which tested negative for ASF.
“"The central and autonomous administrations recall the need to maintain a high level of alert, with elevated biosecurity measures both on farms and in wild boar populations."
The prohibition of access to the natural environment remains in force in the 12 municipalities included in the six-kilometer radius around the focus. The affected municipalities include Sant Cugat, Cerdanyola del Vallès, Barberà del Vallès, Badia del Vallès, Santa Perpètua de Mogoda, Ripollet, Montcada i Reixac, Sant Quirze del Vallès, Sabadell, Polinyà, Terrassa, and Rubí. In contrast, the Barcelona side of Collserola has already reopened access.
