KUCHING (Bernama): Sarawak has banned all pork and pork products imported from countries hit by African Swine Fever (ASF) including China, until further notice.

The Department of Veterinary Services Sarawak (DVSS) in a statement Sunday (Oct 27) said this was after the DNA of ASF virus was detected in one of 17 canned pork luncheon meat imported from China in a test it conducted.
