Bluetongue serotype 3 (BTV-3) – Declaration of an all-Wales Restricted Zone
Given midge-borne Bluetongue virus has reached Wales, and historic temperature data and modelling work indicates it is very unlikely for midge-borne transmission of bluetongue virus to occur after 10 November in Wales, I will declare an all-Wales Restricted Zone (RZ) commencing on 10 November.
