This fact led to the declaration of protection zones (from 0 to 3 kilometers around each home) and surveillance zones (from 3 to 10 kilometers around each home) for each of them, distances which were then extended to 20 kilometersa resolution now void, given the improvement in the situation and the fact that no outbreak has been declared.
Furthermore, the decision was taken as expected since, taking into account the geographical and temporal proximity of the outbreaks to each other, the decision to withdraw the measures was then evaluated once 30 day terms preliminary cleaning and disinfection of all declared outbreaks, as is currently the case.
