Buffer or Pink Zones include cities or municipalities adjacent to infected Zones which have not reported new ASF cases.
Towns not listed are under the Yellow or Surveillance Zones are considered high-risk areas because of dense population of swine, and volume of trade of pigs, pork, and pork products. (Ahikam Pasion)
