Huang Chin-cheng, deputy director of the COA board, said airlines have issued notices in English and Chinese about a ban on imports of meat products from affected countries of the African swine flu on all flights. inland However, many relatives of Taiwanese citizens and Vietnamese tourists do not understand this announcement.



Therefore, the authorities plan to issue notices in Vietnamese on the flights from Vietnam.
In the near future, the security forces on the island will use sniffing dogs and closely check their luggage through the scanner system at the airport. Inadvertent online ordering of meat products from banned countries will not be sanctioned, if the buyer immediately reports to the authorities upon receipt of the goods.
In September, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) warned that the African swine flu is spreading strongly in China and will almost certainly affect other Asian countries.
