2007 United Kingdom Foot-and-mouth Outbreak - Second Outbreak

Second Outbreak

On 12 September a new case of foot and mouth was found 30 miles from the original case at Milton Park Farm in Egham, Surrey. A 3 km radius Protection Zone and a 10 km radius Surveillance Zone have been established around the farm.

A sick sheep found earlier during the day in Scotland at a Lanarkshire market was later found to be negative.

Separately, a Temporary Control Zone was put around a premises in Norfolk as a precautionary measure following a veterinary visit. Laboratory results for these animals were also negative and so the local restrictions were lifted the next evening.
