Overview
- From Monday, individual access for walking and sport is allowed in the 6–20 km protection ring, while group activities remain banned and the 0–6 km high‑risk zone stays closed and fenced.
- Agents Rurals report 54 access points sealed, 32 wildlife passages identified and 22 weak spots addressed, with targeted captures continuing to prevent boar movements.
- The Generalitat will create 30 new posts for cinegetic control, adding to 18 from the public firm Tragsa, to reinforce wild boar capture operations around Collserola.
- A judicial and scientific inquiry is under way, with IRTA‑CReSA under scrutiny; authorities stress all hypotheses remain open pending sequencing and an expert committee’s preliminary report.
- Producers report roughly a 30% drop in pork prices and new export restrictions in some markets, even as officials say the outbreak, linked to 13 wild boar deaths, remains contained within the perimeter.
