Foot And Mouth Tests On Sussex Farm
SURREY - Parts of Surrey were sealed off after the initial foot and mouth outbreak in August.Tests for foot and mouth disease are being carried out on an East Sussex sheep farm, the government said today. Officials said movement restrictions on livestock were to be eased this week, if no new cases of foot and mouth were found.
But today a temporary two-mile control zone was put in place around a farm near Rye as a precautionary measure after sheep showed possible symptoms.
