Good News for Qld

"Latest developments - as of Wednesday 12 SeptemberFrom Thursday 13 September 2007, Queensland will be split in to two equine influenza zones - a Control zone and a Restricted zone. These zones will facilitate future changes to the movement conditions as we become increasingly more confident that the influenza virus is limited to the South-East of the State and the Darling Downs. It´s important you find out which zone you´re in. Visit the ´About the two zones in Queensland page´ to find out more"

Please note, on Sunday, 9 September, testing for equine influenza at the Australian Animal Health Laboratory produced negative results for the horses at Julia Creek and Gordonvale. As a precautionary measure, quarantine measures remain in place at those two properties while the necessary follow-up tests continue. Until final results on these two properties are received by DPI&F, Gordonvale and Julia Creek remain in the current list of Queensland infected properties.
