In order to curb the outbreak of African swine fever, tourists are prohibited from entering the demilitarised zone (DMZ) separating North Korea and South Korea.

The South Korean Unification Ministry announced yesterday that it is expected to prevent visitors from entering the Panmunjom store in the DFZ region.

The decision is part of an inevitable increase in quarantine measures to prevent the spread of ASF to other regions while the government said they will restore Panmunjom travel as soon as possible.

South Korea suspends the Panmunjom tour in the demilitarised zone to curb African swine fever.
