Philippines: "1-7-10" protocol in place to stop spread of ASF

A "1-7-10" radius control protocol for ASF was implemented in the Pangasinan province following the outbreak of two new cases last week.

The provincial government of Pangasinan is implementing the “1-7-10 protocol” to manage and control African swine fever (ASF) from spreading as hogs from two towns in the province tested positive last week.

In an emergency meeting on Sunday, Governor Amado Espino III ordered the ASF Task Force to intensify measures to stop the spread of the virus.

The 1-7-10 protocol means that in a one-kilometer radius from the site of infection or ground zero, hogs will be prohibited from entering or leaving the area, and the site is to eventually be depopulated. In a seven-kilometer radius, hogs would be under surveillance with restricted movements, and blood testing would be done. For the 10-kilometer radius from ground zero, mandatory monitoring and reporting of swine disease occurrences shall be implemented.

The first ASF case in the province this year was recorded in Barangay Linoc, Binmaley and later last week, some hogs were also found positive in Malasiqui.
