An African swine fever case was confirmed at a slaughterhouse in Hong Kong,... as the contagious virus has been spreading in China,... ultimately resulting in a soar in pork prices.

The environment ministry said it will make the pre-announcement of the amendment to the Enforcement Rule on the Wastes Control Act to include such a measure.
