A sixth case of Foot-and-mouth disease has been confirmed on a farm near Mossel Bay in the Western Cape.
The farm is just outside the 10-kilometre quarantine zone. Garden Route disaster management head Gerhard Otto says strict livestock movement controls remain in place. More than 14,000 animals in the area have already been vaccinated.
Meanwhile, the province’s response has received a boost after 100,000 additional vaccine doses arrived at Cape Town International Airport. The vaccines will be distributed across the West Coast, Cape Winelands and Garden Route districts to speed up vaccinations and help contain the outbreak.
