State assessors see Catalonia's measures to control swine fever as "insufficient".

Source Summary

The scientific committee advising the Spanish government on the management of the African swine fever (ASF) outbreak warns that the control measures taken so far are insufficient, and deems it necessary for all autonomous communities to prepare for a possible expansion of the virus. Specifically, in its monitoring report for this June, the State's advisors assess that the preventive actions – which are the responsibility of the Generalitat – have not been taken "with the desired intensity". Among the arguments is that an average of 363 wild boars have been hunted per week, when the estimated objective was 800 per week.
