South Africa currently has 110 open Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreaks in the previous FMD free zone, comprised of three outbreak events. The first event started in May 2021 and is affecting KwaZulu-Natal Province. The second outbreak event started in March 2022 in the previous free zone in Limpopo Province. The third outbreak event also started in March 2022 in North West Province, with spread to Free State, Gauteng, and Mpumalanga Provinces.
2022-08-05 FMD Outbreak Follow-up Report
The current outbreaks appear to be driven by the movement of people and vehicles that have been contaminated with the virus. We urge members to take extra biosecurity precautions when receiving visitors from infected areas. WRSA is in the process of implementing a biosecurity notification system and will update members on the rollout as soon as possible.
