Foot-and-mouth 'may be contained'

[lisan]

Lets hope this will be an end to it - they did say if it had spread no further by today then it had definitely been contained

Excellent news - I do feel it has been handled better this time although still lessons to be learnt.

Ridiculous statement, give it a week or two and if there are no more outbreaks perhaps we will believe them that it has been contained.

I really hope so, but will not been jumping up and down yet, as not even a week since the most recent confirmed case. Think the Protection zones stay in place for at least 15days, so we might be allowed off the yard by Sept.

Given that the incubation period is a fortnight I think they are being a bit hasty!
