10 Mar 2020 --- Additional measures to protect the US against African swine fever (ASF), if the virus is ever detected in the country, have been put in place by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Controlling and eradicating the virus is at the center of the action plan, should it ever get into the US.
