00:00After an African swine flu scare last year, Taiwan hasn't seen another case in the past three months.
00:06That's enough time for the country to apply to the World Organization for Animal Health for recognition as an African
00:12swine fever-free zone again.
00:35Taiwan's African swine fever case was confirmed last October in Taichung,
00:39prompting the government and residents to go on high alert and impose a 15-day ban on the transport and
00:45slaughter of pigs.
00:46The pork industry is an important one in the country,
00:49and they're hoping to get permission to sell abroad again as soon as possible.
01:00The review is expected to take six to eight months.
