Following swift action in response to this possible case I can confirm that testing has enabled me to fully rule out presence of #FootandMouth disease.
We are currently investigating a suspected case of #FootandMouth disease in Norfolk. Movement restrictions and a 10km temporary control zone are in place on the farm. Preliminary testing does not indicate the presence of disease and further work is underway to fully rule it out.

Big thanks to @Gameandwildlife @MoorlandAssoc & the Fitzwilliam Wentworth estate for organising a really insightful #uplands workshop for policy makers, scientists & land managers. My first sight of a #curlew up on the moor this morning was a special moment!
