Korea – FMD under control: livestock restriction lifted

The foot-and-mouth disease outbreak that has haunted farms nationwide seems to have come under control.

Korea's Agriculture ministry announced that with the restrictions on livestock movement lifted in South Chungcheong Province on Sunday, all provinces across the nation are now free from the ban.

The ministry said the highly contagious animal disease appears to have been contained in the country with the last case being reported on February 25th.
