As a preventive measure, the Government of Catalonia has closed inter-urban parks with access to Collserola. In Barcelona’s case, the parks now closed are:

• Parc del Laberint d’Horta
• Parc de l’Aqüeducte
• Hort urbà Masia de Can Soler
• Jardins de Rodrigo Caro

To prevent the spread of swine fever, picnic areas in the upper part of the city have also been closed in the following locations:

• Parc del Castell de l’Oreneta
• Parc de la Pinya
• Access to the Parc del Laberint d’Horta
• Hort urbà Masia de Can Soler
• Plaça de Salvador Puig i Antich
• Jardins de Rodrigo Caro
• Jardins del Campillo de la Virgen
• Access to the Parc de la Font d’en Magués

A double security perimeter has been established: one strict zone of 6 kilometres around the point affected in Cerdanyola del Vallès, affecting 12 municipalities, and a second of 20 kilometres affecting 64 municipalities, including Barcelona.

Specific restrictions apply in this second perimeter:

• Limits on activities linked to leisure, hunting and biodiversity.
• Prohibition of activity that might interfere with tasks to control the wild boar population and biodiversity.
• Access restricted to the whole of the Parc del Collserola for leisure activities.

There is also a series of recommendations for citizens and municipalities:

• Intensify cleaning of litter bins and containers.
• In the case of cat colonies, locate feeders at elevated points and clear food left by the animals to prevent it being available to wild boar.
• Warn people that it is prohibited to feed wild boar.
• Close picnic areas until further notice.
• If you come across a dead or sick wild boar, do not touch it and call 112
• Dispose of rubbish in waste containers with lids which wild boar cannot access.
