This plan has been approved by the European Commission.
Restrictions vary, depending on the circumstances.
A central protection zone, generally 3 km, is set up around the infected area, where the most severe restrictions apply. A wider surveillance zone, usually 10 km around the infected area, allows less severe restrictions. Movements on or off the farm are controlled by police or inspectors. The Ministry disinfects the farm and slaughters the animals. Animals from neighbouring farms exposed to the disease are also slaughtered.
