Overview
- Authorities keep a 6 km core perimeter and modify the 20 km restricted area to add Begues, Gavà, Olesa de Bonesvalls and Subirats after a new positive located farther within the core.
- Confirmed infections in wild boar rise to 27, all within the core area, with 390 animals found or captured and 193 additional carcasses in the wider zone testing negative.
- Monitoring of the 55 pig farms inside the 20 km zone has detected no symptoms or lesions consistent with African swine fever.
- The Generalitat reports 78% of export markets have reopened under regionalization, and Japan will accept pork produced before October 29.
- Three origin probes are ongoing—ministry-led sequencing, a Mossos/SEPRONA judicial inquiry and a Generalitat review that scrutinizes the CReSA lab—while advisers warn surviving boar or carcasses could sustain low-level transmission and prolong control.
