Horse flu classifications ease

The Department of Primary Industries (DPI) says significant parts of north-west New South Wales have had their equine flu classifications scaled back.

The degree of risk in the previous red zone of Armidale has been reduced to amber.
The DPI's deputy chief vet, Ian Roth, says there are also major changes around Gunnedah and Narrabri.
"A lot of that area was amber and a lot of that area has now moved to white, in fact the old green zones have moved to white and that reflects the fact that this area is now basically in tune with other states," he said.
