The FMD emergency scenario has immediately been put into effect by Mr Brinkhorst, Minister of Agriculture, Nature Management and Fisheries. This implies that as of now temporary restrictions have been imposed on the movements of cattle, poultry, transport vehicles for cattle and poultry, semen, ova and embryos of ungulates, which apply to the entire country, i.e. also outside the surveillance zones.
Additional restrictions apply to visitors of livestock farms.
It should be noted that around the contact farms an additional movement ban applies to milk and animal products. The farm has not bought or sold animals this year. The animals on the six farms within a one-kilometer radius of the infected holding will also be culled. All farms within a one-kilometer radius of the farm in Oene will also be slaughtered, as will the animals on the suspected contact farm in Oosterwolde. This also applies to the animals on the farms within a one-kilometer radius of this farm and of the contact farm in Maren Kessel.
