The latest implementing regulation of the European Commission limited the scope of the pink zone in the Warmian-Masurian, Masovian and Podkarpackie voivodeships. In turn, in the Silesian and Lesser Poland Voivodeships, a number of communes were moved to an ASF-free area.
The area’s release from the pink zone results from the fact that no ASF outbreaks have occurred in the wild boar population in the given area over the last 12 months. In this case, the communes listed below were included in the blue zone, where fewer restrictions apply.
