In order to effectively prevent entry of harmful infectious diseases like ASF, it has amended the Act on Domestic Animal Infectious Diseases Control and strengthened the penalties for offenders as follows.

There is no approved vaccine or cure for ASF, and mortality rates for ASF infected pigs are high, making it one of the most feared infectious pig diseases in the world. Outbreaks were first reported in Asia in August 2018. They spread rapidly through many countries and are still prevalent.

AQS has strengthened checks on the hand luggage of travelers from overseas and international posts since August 2018, due to increasing outbreaks of ASF in Asian countries. Since April 2019 it has got stricter in dealing with violators of the laws, and a number of violators including foreigners have been arrested.
